Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I installed endeavor. Now I want to try arch with the arch install script. Then I want to try the traditional install.

    archinstall is so easy I'm convinced almost anybody can do it.

    Same. I installed Arch the manual way a few times, then tried archinstall. It’s dead easy

    Last time I tried (a few months ago), it only is easy for single-boot setups. If you want to dual boot, you have to define the BTRFS submodules yourself, manually... why?? Just give me sane defaults, please.

    Do it the traditional way! Its good to learn that stuff and feel comfortable tinkering around your system when need be... Especially when dealing with partitioning and setting up your bootloader.
