Reinstalled Arch. I had used Arch way back in 2006, but fell out of Linux because I primarily game. Now that proton has improved so much, I dropped my windows install completely. I have tumbleweed on my desktop but decided to try a real Arch install on my laptop. I appreciate how easy tumbleweed was to create an encrypted lvm with snapper rollback, but wanted to understand it a little more instead of having a GUI do it all for me.

Last night I successfully installed Arch with an "luks on lvm" setup, and was able to successfully boot! I didn't quite get snapper working 100% either rEFInd, but I think I'm close.

I definitely appreciate how easy Linux is to install now, but it's good to know I can do it the hard way if I need to, and learn some things along the way.
