Last time I installed arch the archinstall didn’t exist in ita current form yet… It’s been working fine since then. Arch truly is eternal in that you never need to reinstall.
Instead of following screen prompts I followed on screen prompts we are not the same.
I installed arch without arch install many times and im always still nervous and confused by the boot loader instructions… But these days, I use archinstall.
Now i havent actually reinstalled my arch in 3 years though. Running smooth. Normally i like that feeling of a clean system very much but its so time consuming.
Im also using Ubuntu systems and its infuriating how i cant get the latest version of certain software on older Ubuntus like 22.04.
I installed Fedora without installer. It was more “fun” than arch
Until you run an apt command that reinstalls snapd because so many official packages are snaps.
Isn’t there a way to blacklist packages in apt?
I installed my fingerprint drivers only to unlock keyring with my password every time I unlock.
I once exited vim.
Lisan al Gaib!
I keep this book [1] on my desk at all times on the chance I get trapped.

I was able to rescue GRUB from memory 10 years ago.
i understand my nixos configuration
I have an acquaintance who walked me through his setup. I was impressed, mostly at how many little things he needed to have done to get it to how he likes it.
Me who just installed installed EndeavourOS via their live disk because it’s stupidly simple, arch based, and I can read the arch wiki when I have issues.
Endeavour gang rise up
Seriously though it’s glaringly straightforward and all the benefits of arch without the slog. I’ve been happy with it for years now.
There a few of us
Dozens!
I also switched from pre-archinstall arch to Endeavor. I might try archinstall at some point but I’m currently fine with Endeavor
I once accidentally deleted python from my gentoo system (needed for emerge) and rescued it.
How did you do that? (Both "that"s I guess!)
You are the chosen one.
Anyone can install Mint, that’s hardly a big deal.
But can you install Firefox without having snap be reinstalled?
Yes, from the Mozilla PPA. One may also want to prevent
snapd
from being installed again by pinning it with a sufficiently low negative priority.Credit to whom credit is due @fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com
flatpak, boi
I don’t use Arch, btw
Finally a correct usage of this meme format :D
Joke boss was joke.
