[β] wavebeam@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago (4 children) All Iβm getting from this is that arch is easier than I expected and will give me a much better end result than the distros Iβm used to. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [β] DrRatso@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago (1 child) Absolutely yes to the first part, just use archinstall. The second is in large part up to you, but pacman + AUR are amazing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Acters@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Yeah, this is the way, doing it manually is fun and all but its highly unnecessary extra effort as there are very little reasons as all of it is just configuration of the system. Archinstall is just the Text-GUI version that still offers the customize ability of the install. Heck you can load a configuration file that you can make before hand so that you don't need to babysit the installation and can reproduce it in other systems/PCs. permalink fedilink source parent [β] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago* I suppose this depends entirely on your expectations? permalink fedilink source parent [β] MalReynolds@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 years ago Arch is a doddle these days, but still has excellent documentation, which was always it's strength (archwiki is life), read, learn. Personally it led me via fedora for stability to immutable ublue kinoite. When NixOS is there (stable), so shall I be, in the meantime I am happy with a distrobox arch with the AUR for all my random needs... permalink fedilink source parent [β] Pantherina@feddit.de [S] 1 point 2 years ago It is very manual though. For rolling release BTRFS snapshots like on Fedora and Opensuse Tumbleweed are a total must. permalink fedilink source parent
