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
I see you are in the first stages of developing Stockholm syndrome. Its OK. We all love Arch.
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.
Arch is best installed three times in a VM before even attempting on bare metal lol
Once it’s going though it’s a really nice experience :>
Sway on Arch is the smoothest computing experience I’ve ever had.
I love the Arch wiki.
Try EndeavourOS. It’s literally just Arch with a beefy installer, basically makes it as easy to get running as Ubuntu.
