mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX2 # Root

6. Mount Partitions

bash
mount /dev/sdX2 /mnt
mkdir /mnt/boot
mount /dev/sdX1 /mnt/boot

7. Install Base System

bash
pacstrap -K /mnt base linux linux-firmware nano

8. Generate fstab

bash
genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab

9. Chroot into New System

bash
arch-chroot /mnt

10. Set Timezone

bash
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Region/City /etc/localtime
hwclock --systohc

11. Localization

Uncomment your locale in /etc/locale.gen, e.g., en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8, then:

bash
locale-gen
echo "LANG=en_US.UTF-8" > /etc/locale.conf

How to clear browsing history data on your device

To clear your Microsoft Edge browsing data, first decide if you want to delete the data only on the device you’re currently using, or across all synced devices. To clear browsing data just on the device you’re currently using, make sure sync is turned off. If you want to clear browsing data on all synced devices, make sure you are signed in and sync is turned on. Items that are synced will be cleared across all synced devices.

To turn off sync:

  1. Select Settings and moreAn image showing the Settings and more menu in Microsoft Edge.
  2. Go to Settings  > Profiles > Sync  and select Turn off sync.

To clear your browsing data in Microsoft Edge:

  1. Select Settings and more  > Settings  > Privacy, search, and services 
  2. Under Delete browsing data > Clear browsing data now, select Choose what to clear
  3. Under Time range, choose a time range from the drop-down menu
  4. Choose the types of browsing data you want to clear (see the table below for descriptions).For example, you may want to remove browsing history and cookies but keep passwords and form fill data.
  5. Select Clear now.

Clear browsing data stored in the cloud (if you’ve turned on sync or personalization)

To manage and delete data saved in the Microsoft cloud, see the privacy dashboard. On the privacy dashboard you can view or delete your data. Data that you delete on the privacy dashboard won’t be deleted from your device.

Browsing data you can delete in Microsoft Edge

Types of info What will be deleted Where it’s stored
Browsing history The URLs of sites you’ve visited, and the dates and times of each visit. On your device (or, if sync is turned on, across your synced devices)
Download history The list of files you’ve downloaded from the web. This only deletes the list, not the actual files that you’ve downloaded. On your device
Cookies and other site data Information and data that websites store on your device to remember your preferences, such as sign-in info, your location, or media licenses. On your device
Cached images and files Copies of pages, images, and other media content stored on your device. The browser uses these copies to load content faster the next time you visit those sites. On your device

Build Linux Software from source in 3 easy steps

Programs that you run on your computer are either interpreted or compiled. The former are text files containing the code that another program—an interpreter—will read and execute when you run them. The latter are standalone binary files that contain machine code and run directly.Compiled executables are very common, especially for larger programs. When you build from source, you use a compiler—like gcc—to generate an executable from the application’s source code, which may be distributed across many individual files.

Because building from source can be a complex and lengthy process, it is usually automated via another program, most often Make. You can write makefiles to control how a project builds its final executable program.In more complicated projects, makefiles themselves get large and unwieldy. This is especially true for portable apps that need to work across different architectures and environments. To cater to these situations, many projects generate their makefiles automatically using a tool called autoconf/automake.
