- Enable Bridged Adapter
- find the ip adress of the virtual machine using the ifconfig command (in this case 192.168.0.212)
- execute ssh username@ip_adress_of_virtual_machine (in this case ssh chris@192.169.0.212, root@ip_adress does not work for safety reasons!)

“In 2017, the kernel jumped from two years of support to six. Now, six years later, it turns out that’s a lot of work. Linux Weekly News executive editor Jonathan Corbet announced the Linux kernel will return to two years of LTS support.
The plan to cut back down to two years isn’t instant.”
According to the article the currently LTS maintained kernels are 6 🙂

The problem:

The solution:
sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/db.lck removes the lock of the package database that pacman created when a package is about to get altered. This mechanism prevents a different instance of pacman to perform simultaneous changes but the lock can sometimes remain stale

2 of the most common commands that I use all the time is sudo pacman -Syu for updating packages and sudo pacman -Scc for clearing the package cache
Setting aliases saves a lot of time 🙂

Pacman is the default package manager of Arch Linux and Arch Linux based distributions. It is considered as the most robust binary package manager along with Portage of Gentoo, a powerful source code package manager.
One of the most important modifications of my setup is the number of parallel downloads and kde-unstable repository
