Hey guys. I have a problem - even if I allready achieved some of the objectives, they don't always show on the map. For example on Hummingberg I allready got the ship, got the spirit and the shrine (altho I did it BEFORE Gwen showed it to me, that might have something to do with it) and the same thing happened with Mount Toroyama, I allready got the one sheep that was there and completed this one for the quest. On some islands the trees also still show as not checked, even tho i allready cut them all.

Am I doing something wrong, is this a bug or will it get checked off at some other time? I'm kinda lost tbh

I'm currently 21, and I've always been using windows.

I tried linux before in VM, but didn't really use it, since I didn't see a point.

But, since I have some time to kill i decided to go into deep waters and learn that way - so I installed Arch. I'll be honest - I kinda got hooked in by hyprland look on allready riced desktops, so I decided to go eith it.

Not sure if this was a bad idea, but the first few... well hours were really underwhelming. I didn't really research Arch much in general, so I expected just a bit of GUI like wifi and bluetooth controlls, but I learned the hard way that this isn't mint xD

I kinda started off the wrong foot at first, tried to just download some dot files from a nice setup that i liked, but I got a lot of errors, and didn't really know hoe to fix that. So I did a clean install, and decided to just start from scratch.

I got:

- rofi

- plain wallpaper set up with hyprpaper

- some waybar i took from github as a placeholder

- blueman for BT, but it just looks like I'm in the 90s xD (actually connected with bluetoothctl before)

- very basic SDDM theme to make it look a bit more friendly

I'd like to go right into ricing, but I'm aware that i first need to build a system that will actually be usable.

For example, I really like the look and feel of quick settings from GNOME, not sure if its possible to replicate that or not

But anyways, I wanted to ask:

What do you actually recommend for a total beginner to install and set up, and to learn before trying to daily drive arch?

Sorry for the long post, btw

Edit: i know there is a wiki, but I can't really find these kinds of recommendations, there are just list upon lists of things i "can" use or do, but not what i actually should try for the first time, which things could eork better thsn others
