are you up for the challenge?

devout garden
#

sir yes sir

worthy cove
# devout garden sir yes sir

because arch is meant for advanced users or those who are willing to learn how the system works or want DIY and willing to read a lot/mantain arch themselves

#

if you want a just works system, mint is the best

devout garden
#

can i use sum1 elses config

#

if im feeling lazy

worthy cove
#

FIY, arch has no live desktop and boots to TTY then you are on your own to install it

devout garden
#

wym by that

worthy cove
#

tho archinstall script exists, it's still completely manual

worthy cove
devout garden
#

what is tty

worthy cove
#

don't expect it to boot the way mint iso does

devout garden
#

like a tui

worthy cove
devout garden
#

i see

worthy cove
#

and you can't exit it as that's how arch iso works

devout garden
#

but thats only before initial install right

worthy cove
#

don't expect a nice GUI installer, arch expects you to read the archwiki

devout garden
#
