@cerulean maple I agree with what @cerulean maple said. It's hard to know where stuff and configs are later that archinstall set up. I also used archinstall and it took me probably more time to find out what archinstall set up before I could fix the issue itself than if I would've just set it up manually and knew my system. So I think it's true. If I'd set my Linux up again I'd not use archinstall if you're planning to daily drive. I'm also thinking about just doing another manual install in a VM so I can actually know what is what.

[cerulean maple]

You don't need to have such a short attention span, lol.

[crisp falcon]

Kids these days

[cerulean maple]

Do that.

I don't recommend reinstalling your workhorse pc/laptop/machine.

Just use a VM.

[olive merlin]

Archinstall is mainly focused at veterans wanting a quick install. Not new users.

[boreal dove]

They did say that they are going to do it in a vm

[crisp falcon]

Yea. No way I'd do that. And a VM is really idiot proof. Can't wipe another drive in the process by mistake

[crisp falcon]

And ricers

[cerulean maple]

I didn't say they didn't.
