Ui?

Hi. I'm a Curious George, and just recently installed Arch Linux. I wanted to try something different; unfortunately, I over estimated my skills and abilities, and now have no idea what to do.

After installing, and configuring Arch, I rebooted, and logged in, and I'm now in, what seems to be, a virtual terminal.

I feel like such a fool for asking, but how might I get to a UI?

That wiki page is your friend

In specific, you'd probably be looking for this section and on:

Re: Ui?

Ah but you have a UI! You just don't have a GUI.

Linux offers you many different options when it comes to GUIs. Making a quick guesstimate here, I have a suspicion you're looking for KDE or GNOME.

Check out this section of the Beginner's Guide from the wiki:

Oh wow. Completely missed that one.

Thanks a lot for the point in the right direction!
