Is there an easier way to install Arch? I know there's Archinstall but my dumbass messed that up somehow.
EndeavourOS is it. It's basically a better version of archinstall, especially if you're planning to install a DE.
I used endeavourOS and it was super straightforward
When you boot up the arch iso, you can use a script called
arch-installI know there's Archinstall but my dumbass messed that up somehow.
Archintstall sometimes produces problems(at least I had problems with it). Make sure that you have the current iso version of arch on your stick and try again.
The problem I was facing was manually creating partitions. Should I use Gparted to make them first and then use archinstall, or does it not work with manual partitions?
It should work with both ways. First time I did them with archinstall(but didn't like that it created a separate partition for my home directory). Second time I manually partitioned my drive and then let archintstall use that.
EndeavorOS or other. Artix maybe? But never used any of those
If you use EndeavourOS, know that you shouldn't ask for support on the Arch forums, its a policy they have.
