I didn't really understand the fun of using Arch until I watched a few episodes of the "monthly Arch install" on YouTube.

It is very useful seeing how the "pros" do things, which looks substantially easier than when I try to install Arch and end up with a mess only slightly better than in this article ;)

Edit: the channels name is "EF - Linux made simple".




Hey thank you for this discovery. After every arch-install i think to myself i should probably automate this, and i only go as far as logging all the commands typed (mostly doing '# history > log.sh' and adding a few comments) and said file is is forgotten or i am trying something different for the next install (like desperately trying to make a CB3-131 Chromebook work nicely)

Here are the links for the lazy

I had a script that set up my Arch environment. And then I switched up some of my software for alternatives, and changed a lot of my configurations. Now I'm too lazy.
