@blazing linden mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

#

I got it working

#

it was archinstall

#

I could've saved 5 hours of pain

#

if in the beginning 2 hours I did arch install

#

archinstall does systemd for u

blazing linden Sep 17, 2022, 9:25 PM

deep estuary Sep 17, 2022, 9:32 PM

Not until arch actually works

deep estuary Sep 17, 2022, 9:34 PM

#

k

#

At this point if it doesn't work tomorrow, I'll just go use manjaro

#

this is becoming a headache

blazing linden Sep 17, 2022, 9:34 PM

#

Lol

#

The whole point of dual booting arch was to experience something other than ubuntu

#

and to try and get this as my desktop enviornment: https://github.com/elenapan/dotfiles

GitHub

GitHub - elenapan/dotfiles: There is no place like ~/

There is no place like ~/. Contribute to elenapan/dotfiles development by creating an account on GitHub.

#

.

#

De?

#

Desktop enviorment

#

Yeah I was gonna get kde first

#

And use that for a bit

#

Then move on

elfin junco .s manjaro

Reasons to not use Manjaro:

Don't use memejaro

#

You can use EndeavourOS instead if you give up on Chad arch install

slim olive Sep 17, 2022, 11:19 PM

#

Yeh, can confirm endeavouros works great as a stepping stone

#

Less meaningful now that archinstall exists but still has value

blazing linden Sep 17, 2022, 11:33 PM

#

Archinstall causes a lot of problems

versed briar Sep 18, 2022, 3:17 PM

#

deep estuary yeah it doesn't know how to do the partitions

i was never able to configure partitions with archinstall...
Stick with the arch installation guide and you should be fine.

blazing linden Archinstall causes a lot of problems

I'm very in favour of arch install, but only for people that already know what they're doing and who are just a little lazy

blazing linden Sep 18, 2022, 3:22 PM

#

I was planning to do my own arch install script and i guess shell script it's better than the archinstall module

[solved] How to dual boot arch linux?

#

Got it working with grub

blazing linden Sep 18, 2022, 3:32 PM

#

@deep estuary lets go

deep estuary Sep 18, 2022, 3:34 PM

#

You have to mount the partition with the windows 10 OS for grub to load it, as well as your esp partition when you generate your config, since it will likely fail to mount the ntfs partition, you'll probably have to install ntfs 3g package ad try again, the partition can be mounted anywhere and grub will find it

#

@blazing linden @grave osprey we got it

lezz gooooooooooo
