1.0 out of 5 stars Complete waste of time
Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2023
This does not give you any real information. If you are trying to use Arch Linux you already know what apps you want to install.

This book is not worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Overview of highest rated apps for ArchLinux

Good overview of some of the highest rated applications for ArchLinux. Book is intended to point people in the right direction after they install ArchLinux and give options on how to set it up. It breaks down recommended applications into groups and gives an overview of each one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Installation procedure needs to be included -- I hope

I hope it contained an in-depth coverage of installation procedure. Also missing part is how to install GUI of the Archlinux. I'm not sure if I were having too high expectations.

1.0 out of 5 stars Does not provide guidance on installing Arch Linux
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 16, 2020

The title is misleading, It does not provide any guidance it just points you to applications that you might find useful.I am not sure why this quantifies as a "book".
Amazon should have some minimum standards!

4.0 out of 5 stars Gut, obwohl
Reviewed in Germany on January 5, 2016
Verified Purchase
die Zusammenhänge sind nicht so gut erklärt.
Insgesamt ein gutes Werk, aber man muss anderswo nachschlagen.
Mit anderen Worten: etwas zu dünn ausgefallen,
aber als Startbasis ist OK, sogar gut. 4 Sterne
