Arch Linux

[Moyer]

If i run this operating system on my computer will the drivers work? I have an HP pavilion dv6!

A lot of problems with wifi drivers I've heard. But it depends. You will probably (most likely) need to get some for wireless and maybe some other stuff.

But where can i get them? I'm running ubuntu now and my audio drivers don't work, my integrated webcam won't work and i can't make keyboard shortcuts. Are you sure it's possible to find the drivers for Arch?

[Brandon]

I suggest really getting comfortable with terminal first while your still on Ubuntu first, moving from Ubuntu to something like Arch is a very big step and shouldn't be taken lightly. Installing Arch is easy, configuring it... not so much.

Thanks i'll take that into consideration, is there any possible way i can locate some drivers for this? Not having audio is a real pain in the ***

What is your Sound Card? Or could you give me your computer specs?

I have no problem helping if you need it, buuuut if you have to ask these questions, you shouldn't be installing it to begin with. Try it on an old PC or a partition first, **** around with in where you wouldn't loose your current stuff, learn all your PC information, (specs from Speccy should be enough) THEN try installing it.
