I'm not very bright so I'm feeling pumped :P grub wouldn't play nice with dual boot of other distros, realised I couldnt find a text editor to make the DE work, but we got there In the end and it turns out it's true what they say, you learn a lot.

anyone who says installing Arch is easy is hiding an extensive computer background. i struggled to install it the first time for sure. then it ran like a champ for like 8 years. solid distro with few compromises imo.

@chrash0 @Voidedtoast If you find the correct arch installation tutorial it's not so difficult. Admit i tried it first on other system and wrote my own installation manual from that.

Arch is for me the best linux.

Fair shout, I didn't find the all in one place correct guide this time around, but it came together from scraps of advice found all over so credit where it's due to the community. Liking arch so far, running it on an older machine and had been using endeavour os (so not a massive change) but instead of stripping things out of it until it broke I was keen to build it until it had only what I wanted and see just what I can live without.

i mean, still. using any CLI tool for the vast majority of people is a nonstarter
