2. Be civil
  • 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.
    • 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 followed the wiki and pulled off a successful install..... On a vm. Once I felt confident and ready I remembered arch install was a thing and thought "sure I'll try it, it'll definetly break and I'll just use the wiki to install" then it worked without a hitch. I'm still running arch with no issues.

    The one time I tried to manually install arch on a VM years and years ago it didn't work and I wrote Arch off. Guess what I'm running now? Well, Cachy, but lol. It's Arch. And guess what? It's got a simplified install process.

    Very easy nowadays, even manually with all the guides, so you can cross that one off quite easily.

    Arch Wiki is great, but it's mostly oriented on people who already know something. And installation page should be very clearly written for absolute noobs.

    Installing Arch 'the proper way' is a pilgrimage all Linux users should take. After that, they can fly with EndeavourOS at their convenience.

    I got pretty close for my first time, got some random error post wiping drive and formatting and mounting it. Not sure exactly what I did wrong post completion and logging in. Then I think I locked myself out of disc encryption and was disheartened and used Archinstall..

    I installed arch without it and it was a fucking struggle. Didn't know it existed til after. Like actually hours after

    Not sure about this meme. It seems dated. Since they added a walk through installed it's just as easy as Debian.

    I'll confess my first Arch installation was with the script, but in the end I reinstalled manually just to test myself and to have hibernation enabled. Still a noob but I can only go up from here.

    Falls off a cliff and has no snapper enabled so the system is broken
