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?!?!?

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

    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

    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.
