What? The arch wiki is a really good example of excellent documentation, and is often useful for other distros.
You’re a retard. A plain retard.
archinstall exists and no one with an iota of self-respect wastes time on manual Arch installs anymore
The last time I did a manual arch install was 2019/2020 when I was locked in during COVID.
I was pretty disappointed when they had changed it. It made it much more difficult to install manually.
Am I the only person here who enjoys and prefers a manual install?
pacstrap does most of the work for you anyway.
very carefully
just turn off unnecessary services and don't use DMZ mode on your router? It's not that hard
Thoughts and prayers for your little brother, he will NOT be amongst the living in a week tops.My little brother is installing Arch as we speak, of his own accord - can we get a?
I use UFW. It is pretty simple.

set -euo pipefail
sudo ufw default deny incoming

sudo ufw reloadufw is good. It's a, well, Uncomplicated wrapper script for iptables.
I can do the manual install. I don't see any point in doing it when there is a script that does what I probably would have done anyway.
Ik u got bad reacts on it but I legit could only get artix working on my nvidia desktop. The installer was fucked on both of my laptops which were Intel and amd and I would have had to do a manual install (which I've done before on my desktop but still)
In a VM it requires some extensions to work properly with QEMU and enable some services. It is unusable. Bringing up a menu item via a click takes about 10 seconds on one of the GUI images.
I helped him and he's now running Hyprland. He already seems a lot smarter than most people, not shouting "hurr durr why no Windows-thing", he just asks me and I tell him how to. No stupid shit like "durrr why no right mouse button for changing background". He is retarded in the sense that he wrote "fdisk -1" instead of "fdisk -l".
This is probably the least valid criticism you could make about arch.
I think a lot of people who dont mind the manual install itself still have some gripes with installing from the installation medium, but its worth noting that you can still do a manual install of many distros from another distro. I tend to use SystemRescue for this use case nowadays and for whenever I need to chroot. With it you get a XFCE environment and from there you can just use the terminal to do all the commands you would have done anyways.
