LEAD ME DOWN ANOTHER RABBIT HOLE WITH OBTUSE NON-EXPLANATIONS, I DARE YOU MOTHERFUCKERS
oh you just gotta append some initrd= options to the boot loader or whatever, tehee :troll:
WELL HOW THE FUCK DO I DO THAT?? I WILL FIND YOU
/boot/initramfs-x.yz-x86_64.img
just guessing you’re on a modern desktop platform, but your initramfs image should be named something like that. sounds like it’s trying to get you to manually set your kernelstub for some fucking reason.
nevermind, apparently kernelstub is just a debian/ubuntu thing. i actually have no idea how to change my kernel on manjaro. neaT
Part of me thinks Arch is the Emperor’s New Clothes. It’s really terrible and everyone actually thinks that, but they don’t want to say it because they don’t want to look like a noob.
The installation guide is really shitty imho, especially for beginners, which I still consider myself as. I followed a video guide and it was very thorough and it explained things simply and slowly so I could at least sort of understand what was going on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPLnBPM4DhI
That being said, EndeavourOS is probably the more sane option as others have already said.
Just install EndeavourOS and get all the Arch goodies without having to install your own DE from a live-media.
