    I’ve installed Arch manually exactly once. (Just for the bragging rights, lol)

    My go to way is just installing EndeavourOS. It’s basically Arch, but with a nicer installer and reasonable defaults.

      I did it once, wrote down all the commands I used in order and then made my own install script. It was a great learning experience

        i did that once… watched a video of some guy installing it, wrote down every single command, did it myself, it worked! then the clock system broke and i tried to fix it, couldn’t do it because dumb, and reinstalled it. exact same commands as before, but it didn’t work, no clue why

        then i did the same with some other youtube video, until i just decided to use an arch based distro with an installer

        now i just see people talking about archinstall and i’m like… i could’ve done it with one command? why did nobody tell me??? or did i just ignore everyone who told me? am i stupid???

      I use Endeavour, btw. Nah, I don’t think it’ll catch one.

      I’m super stoked to be on an Arch-based system, but things have been so easy I have earned no bragging rights what-so-ever with it.
