Arch installation did exactly what I told it to do, which was pretty stupid. - Feddit

So this is completely on me: >I installed Arch >I installed the plasma desktop without any additional programs >I installed sddm and told it to launch plasma desktop >I rebooted And it did what I told it to do perfectly: >I’m now within plasma desktop. >I have no terminal emulator installed, so no way of accessing a command line from within the GUI. >Whenever I reboot, I get put back into plasma desktop. >I tried to switch to a different tty with Ctrl+Alt+F-keys but there aren’t any. >I tried creating a shell script that launches pacman and installs a terminal, but I can’t, since I don’t have a text editor installed. Help!

Can I just say we’re proud of you?
