Guide for installing and setting up Pantheon

Hi,

with the release of Elementary OS 6 I would like to give the Pantheon desktop on Arch try. Does anyone of you know a good guide how to do it and tackle all the problems or wen't through the process himself? The very few guides I found were only taking about older versions.

Is there something lacking in the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pantheon

Yes. For example a whole bunch of errors in the systemd journal like (not exhaustive)

gkr-pam: unable to locate daemon control file

Failed to get screen saver status: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.ScreenSaver was not provided by any .service files

gsd-usb-protect[1205]: Failed to contact USBGuard: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.usbguard1: Unit dbus-org.usbguard.service not found.

and information how to deal with them (or if they even have to be dealt with).
Also some packages like touchegg which apparently are needed/recommended by pantheon don't get mentioned at all and you have to find it out the hard way. Therefor my question, if there is a guide.

The gkr-pam message has nothing to do with pantheon and appears to be harmless https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=261156.

Not sure about the second message, but it does look like a gnome issue.
The 3rd comes from the usbguard package which is not part of pantheon .

You might want to take logs from starting a gnome desktop and compare them with logs from starting pantheon to verify which issues are pantheon specific .

The pantheon wiki page may indeed need some updates - but it's a start and anything missing should be added there. So it's unlikely that this community has a good source of Pantheon-specific information beyond what's there (if someone here had more info, they'd likely add it to the wiki).

But that said - and as aluded to above - the Pantheon wiki page is about Pantheon ... it does not touch on every issue you might face if those issues are not related to or specific to Pantheon.
