I wanted to try out Arch Linux because I found the Idea of creating an own GUI on a lightweight system very cool.
Anyways, after completing the setup, I have one major problem: I can’t connect to my WIFI network. After searching around for one solid afternoon, I tried many ways like wifi-menu, iw, wpa-supplicant and so on. All those tutorials didn’t work as when trying to ping any host the output says something like “host unknown”. Plus, pacman doesn’t work so I guess there is no connection to the Internet. But, confusingly, wlan0 lists a connection with my wifi after completing those tutorials.
Anyway, I still can’t connect to the Internet. Raspbian and Co always worked fine. I set them up with wpa-supplicant.
I would be so happy to get help on my problem!
Best regards
Friedrich
