I have a friend that has one of these.
I saw one on the parcel shelf of a car in the carpark at IKEA once…
Unnaproved software installation implies an obligation to provide user support… indefinitely.
The arch installing bandit is anonymous. Noone knows how to reach him
Like the guy that installed Windows on your machine without you asking…
I head cannon the arch installation bandit as a girl.
Why is it “head cannon” and not “head canon”? You got some kind of gun strapped to your head that you keep stories in?
Actually I think they mean that “as a girl” (meaning the commenter is a girl), they “head cannon” (meaning they use a cannon to shoot heads) “at the arch installation bandit”. I hope this annotated version helps!
Easy. Buy a new laptop, let them upgrade from w•ndows to arch, then dump arch for something like MX or whatever else I use in the future. Then I wouldn’t have to touch the default w•ndows installation forced into me.
I actually don’t get the fuzz/meme about Arch Linux. Yes, the installer drops you into a shell where you need to fix the keyboard layout for starters and the next thing is preparing enough disk resources for the OS which is somehow ungodly hard. My point is that if you can’t then you are not qualified to maintain the installation, or actually RTFM and start to fr think what you do.
I love gatekeeping Linux distros
I’ve messed around with Linux before but, I can’t seem to find the time to relearn how to get a thumb drive of an easy distro on one. One day I’ll get the thing working.
after i did such a harm to myself (installing arch), now i use windows 11
If you want the best of both worlds, go for EndeavourOS, an arch based distro.
Pretty chill GUI installer, only comes with the basic stuff and what you choose in the installer, like the desktop environment.
A few clicks and you have a functional arch install with everything setup.
The CLI installer was not a problem. The problem is complete lack of stability, inability to use software like AutoCAD, Inventor or CorelDRAW, and wasting hours of short life for configuration of things, about which you just do not need to think on Windows. Anyway, the least useless distro I found is MX Linux, but after few years with experimenting with Linux, I happily went back to Windows.
Kinda wish someone would do this to me, because I’m never going to balls to do it myself
Recently wanted to try KDE 6 on my second laptop and after being pissed off at the lack of encryption with Void installer (gotta do it manually, have done it in the past but I’m lazy), another fail with NixOs (known bug with encryption in the latest stable installer) the easiest way was installing Arch lol.
I used archinstall as suggested, just answer questions, no manual voodoo incantation required. You can do it.
Btw Plasma 6 is glorious. First time Wayland “just works” without me noticing too.
broken Nvidia Optimus free of charge
