Archinstall to EASILY Install Arch Linux

Arch Linux is getting easier to install with the Archinstall script. The latest update gives us LVM management, but the whole script is pretty easy to use. Here we will walk you through the steps.

I use Mint and not Arch, but my hot take: I think the reason a lot of Linux people get so pissy about Archinstall is gatekeeping. They're threatened by the 'democratization' of Arch by allowing less technically capable people (I don't mean Tom) to use the distro. But if we want more people to use Linux, that means making it more available to people; not less.

i used archinstall to install arch on my laptop last night! Very good so far, my only issue was NetworkManager service was not on when i booted up, and i had a little trouble enabling it. 9/10 experience

I first installed Arch manually more than a decade ago; it was tedious and took the better part of a night, but at the end, it worked and I learned something new.

Having said that, when I went to install Arch on my laptop and my new home machine, I used Archinstall to assist. And in my opinion, already being comfortable with using Arch makes that install process even more efficient. When you're going to be spending who knows how long doing the post-install setup, any time you can shave off of the installation itself is a net positive.

arch is supposed to be a lightweight general purpouse distro.
I dont understand how someone could say that the only way to install is manually.

excellent video! i installed arch using the script and i couldn't believe it when it only took 10 minutes to install.

[SimonJackson]

I'm still happy about the ports repo edit to get arm64 compile on x86 on mint I did yesterday.

I wished i watched this couple of days earlier when i tried archinstall on my new thinkpad. I chose minimal install and had issues installing the desktop environment and greeter. Not a arch problem but me problem i know

I Like OpenSuse Leap latest release and waiting for the next build which will be more exciting than now.

A few comments from me.
1. When in the terminal/tty you are being asked Y/n or y/N then the capitalized options is the default choice. In the case of pacman, when you install a package you don't need to enter the Y, you can simply press the "enter/return"-key and then "yes" is chosen. This just is a general convention on Linux because people are lazy and prefer to type less. 😉
2. The LTS-kernel on Arch is only 1 year old, so LTS on Arch is not quite the same as LTS on Debian/Ubuntu.
3. GRUB has been broken quite a few times in the last years. Many people got an unbootable system, just because GRUB broke for their hardware. In my case all of the sudden I couldn't use grub-customizer anymore, so I couldn't configure GRUUB anymore unless I changed the GRUB files myself which is rather painful. That is one reason why I couldn't use the Arch-install script, Systemdboot is not an option in the script yet but that is a lot easier for many systems and it is more stable, it is not faster though.

Can you do a video where you save the arch script and use that to do a fresh install of arch?

[petermaddison]

1:30 - You just got me. Bye-bye Kubuntu, Hello Arch.

[bhargavjitbhuyan]

Well, well,
Is it easy to dualboot with arch install or EndeavourOS is still the best arch based distro to dualboot?

*Le me: using linux for 8 months. Changed distros 60 times. Tried almost every distro. Even arch (basically with EndeavourOS). Haven't touch the windows partition for like 3-4 months and still I wish to keep it.

Hey, is there a good linux alternative to dts audio processing.

[RaijinTheGreat]

i personally believe that the whole point of arch existing should be the DIY approach, but you reach a point where you just enjoy pacman and aur and are too tired to customize your system for the 10th time and 15 hours of stuff

[justinpatterson]

I've only ever used Mint and Ubuntu. I'm not great at entering command lines, or any kind of code. Hence, the easier versions of Linux...

[SkyeReim]

gnome software manager is working fine.

[yigitorhan]

‼‼WARNING, if you are in any way into gaming or want to use wine, you should add multilib in the additional repositories section.

[LoganKaval]

i use arch btw, and I have for about four to five months

[borisderzhavets]

How to install pycharm-community (classic) on Arch Linux ? Is it possible to manage via snap on Arch Linux ?

[SirCaco]

Is installing Arch really the most challenging aspect of it? People always talk about the installation as a barrier to entry for newcomers, but with that out of the way, is it then suddenly a noob-friendly distribution? Something tells me that's not the case, but I don't have the experience to be sure about it.
