    I did last night. Tried Fedora for a couple of days to just “diversify” my shit, but nope, the laptop kept waking up to a black screen every single time I opened the lid. Was like you know what fuck you, let me install Arch. It’s now running perfectly.

        Whoever says that is either just a hater/bitter or just never tried Arch. I DOES just work. I’ve had it on my desktop for a whole year now. I have never had to use timeshift to restore. I never had to spend all day to fix shit. It just worked this whole time. One thing that annoys me about it is the constant updates I get. Lol. But I just ignore them and do it once a week or so.

          Been using Arch mostly for 12 years here. It has always ran the best out of the box next to Ubuntu/Mint for me. And Arch seems to age even better than Ubuntu after a few releases break your shit.

            I maybe had a single Ubuntu release that worked out of 6. So it always lastet a year or so. Since Arch Linux, I never really needed to reinstall anything.

      I feel like Debian people are the ones who wear fedoras, and the ones who use Fedora wear golf attire.

      Then you got Arch people like me (black jeans and hoody) who need to ham it into every conversation that I use Arch.

    I installed endeavor. Now I want to try arch with the arch install script. Then I want to try the traditional install.

      archinstall is so easy I’m convinced almost anybody can do it.

        Last time I tried (a few months ago), it only is easy for single-boot setups. If you want to dual boot, you have to define the BTRFS submodules yourself, manually… why?? Just give me sane defaults, please.

      Do it the traditional way! Its good to learn that stuff and feel comfortable tinkering around your system when need be… Especially when dealing with partitioning and setting up your bootloader.

          Don’t tell anyone but I only did it manually the first time and have just used archinstall every other time since 😎

          I always used an archiso from 2021 and wondered why the script never works. Last time it tried it with a new ISO again, damn was it fast and simpel. I needed to install Arch many times because of new PCs we used as Server
