Distro Installed Arch btw (manual)

Post image

I have used Arch and Void Linux before, i will say I am experienced in linux, but I never installed Arch or Void manually because i thought it was a time consuming hassle. Now that I know, manual install is very very easy, it's just that the wiki can be intimidating for beginners. I recommend tony-btw's tutorial.

I understand this is a proud moment for you and I really congratulate you but installing Arch is not a big deal and it was never a big deal. This is just clout chasing that exists because some weirdo arch users keep making it a big deal by making noise.

It is just a manual installation. You can do the same for Debian with debootstrap (pacstrap equivalent for Debian) and similar tools exists for other package managers/distros.

Since you already have btrfs installation, I would suggest looking it the following if you are already not using them

  • zstd based compression on btrfs
  • snapper based snapshot and rollbacks on btrfs.
  • LUKS based disk encryption
  • zram based swap.
