  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    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

    [–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    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?!?!?

    [–] IzzyJ@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Tbf you couldn't always. Archinstall didn't come until a few years ago

    [–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    hmmm how many years ago? i started using linux (with fedora, then arch a couple of months later) around the end of 2022 or mid 2023

    [–] DaTingGoBrrr@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    First stable release of Archinstall was 5 years ago according to the releases on GitHub so it already existed

    [–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

    yeah so i just always ignored it's existence

    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.

    [–] Allero@lemmy.today 7 points 10 months ago

    Go ahead, install Arch on a VM (it's not hard at all, actually!) and get your medal.

    Then keep with Endeavour and enjoy your ride :D

    Btw, I'm on an arch endeavour

    [–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

    I got to where it expected me to partition the drive manually and noped out. I was doing that in the 90's when I compiled my own kernel. Ain't nobody got time for that today.

    Once is all you need to be fair. After that you're the exact person who should be using archinstall.
