From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is there an easier way to install Arch? I know there's Archinstall but my dumbass messed that up somehow.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

EndeavourOS is it. It's basically a better version of archinstall, especially if you're planning to install a DE.

I used endeavourOS and it was super straightforward

When you boot up the arch iso, you can use a script called arch-install

Archintstall sometimes produces problems(at least I had problems with it). Make sure that you have the current iso version of arch on your stick and try again.

The problem I was facing was manually creating partitions. Should I use Gparted to make them first and then use archinstall, or does it not work with manual partitions?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

It should work with both ways. First time I did them with archinstall(but didn't like that it created a separate partition for my home directory). Second time I manually partitioned my drive and then let archintstall use that.

EndeavorOS or other. Artix maybe? But never used any of those

If you use EndeavourOS, know that you shouldn't ask for support on the Arch forums, its a policy they have.
