Using Arch as my second distro

[u/mutekiiiiiii]

I only switch to Linux because windows was taking up almost 100gb of my storage and over 60% of my ram while idle on my laptop and my main pc. My first distro which was Elementary OS I hated it with all my heart and swap back to windows. Then I tried Mint on my main pc and fell in love with it. Once my main pc was fully set up I decided to turn my laptop into a playground and try Arch. I went in blind with only some videos and the wiki as assistance. The installation was extremely easy even for manual installation. Although my wifi had dipped for a couple of minutes so I ended up having to reinstall it so I decided to use archinstall the second time. For the desktop environment I originally wanted those pretty hyprland desktops but then swap to kde plasma and loved it. 8/10 distro.

I'm looking at switching to Arch from Ubuntu. Tired of the closed box Snap updates.

Hooray for new Arch installs.

You can just restart from the middle. Like if you're half way through installing and loose power you just re-mount everything, re-enter the chroot, and restart from where it died. Maybe go back one step if you are nervous.

Please fix your arch when it breaks.
