Arch is a pain to setup BTW. It's worth it, though you'd be better using something like the installer for cachyOS to get the same experience
I'm partial to Endeavor OS personally. It's basically just Arch without the bullshit of setting it up.
All my friends with endeavour are clueless when their system eventually breaks because they haven't done the manual install and so they haven't read the wiki and they have no idea how to actually repair their system
I broke my system a few times, but I know what I did. Once I tried to remove mesa and everything it's a dependency for...not realizing it's part of the kernel. Another time I messed up my video drivers trying to install Optimus.
Actually a lot of my breaks can be traced to Nvidia being a shitass about supporting Linux. But I need the proprietary drivers for my editing software
i'm using it for half a year or so. Have done multiple system upgrades by now. My only question is "how!?". How did they manage to break it? I have lots of AURs installed, i did intall some python dependencies with pip --break-system-packages, it still runs perfectly.
One's pc crashed during a system upgrade and the other just wouldn't boot after the system upgrade. I told him to mount his partition using the liveusb and backup his stuff and he was clueless
It's absolutely not. Use archinstall. The hardest part is preparing for breakages when you update.
Honestly, I've done it so often, it runs automatically. The config stuff I have for years and years, I think I haven't change shit for ever. Runs.
