"Spacebar to select it, Enter to go back." The average Arch user's understanding of good UX.
literally if you didn't invent physics that allow transitors to exist your taking the easy way out
6:05 didn´t expect a Alan Aztec song (Bass Bomber) in a Mental outlaw video. Greetings from Germany
Remember guys. Always set your root password as root so you can easily remember. Also make sure all ports are open. The more ports you have open the more security you have. Also os updates are optional and shouldn’t be used. They can introduce a whole new array of bugs. If this worked for you leave a comment with your public and MAC address. :D So I can make sure you did it the right way.
I installed Arch less than a week ago. Looked at the Wiki, barely understood any of it. Thankfully I had a buddy that knew way more about Linux and Arch than me so he was able to help me, and we got it knocked out in about 8 hours thanks to stuff happening like forgetting to get the stuff necessary to use ethernet. At about the 6 hour mark he told me about archinstall. Still pissed.
Make Arch users seethe with this one simple trick!
Linux and hardbass go together like glove and hand haha! :D
The first rule of Arch Linux Fight Club, is to always talk about Arch Linux Fight Club.
I'm still amazed how someone (with charisma 100, presumably) managed to convince arch devs to include archinstall in the original distro, after 20 years of being proudly "that distro that is so hard to install you get bragging rights for doing it". Best thing that has happened to Arch, by the way, an excellent one, I use it myself, it has always been, even better now you don't need to pass the trial of patience to or to resort to third-party installers or forks in order to have a bleeding-edge distro with the richest package collection (if you include AUR) available.
Someone at my work once said something along the lines of "If you use Linux on a daily basis, and go more into the technical side, you most likely have the knowledge needed to be a Linux SysAdmin"
I did not expect Alan Aztek but it is truely glorious, to see the music paired with linux! ❤
I remember installing Arch on an old laptop when I was a kid. I had used Slackware, Knoppix, Puppy Linux, and Ubuntu, so I figured it wouldn't be that big a deal. Learned quite a lot during that 6 hour process, then erased it and installed Backtrack to experiment with wifi cracking. Those were simpler days.
Installing Arch in the traditional way can generate the experience called "flow", the process feels like playing a nice game in Normal difficulty, and I encourage every distro hopper to try it at least once in the entire life, the true meaning of Linux hides there. Archinstall just unlocks the Easy mode. But if you want to challenge the Nightmare difficulty, get an Nvidia graphic card.
Came for Arch, stayed for the music
This made me laugh so much. As someone that has used Linux for the better part of 25 years this video was a refreshing look at making pointlessly manual installs for Linux simple. I really appreciate this video and would recommend it. I will never understand the few that tend to be smug about using and installing Linux. It's never that serious. :) Linux should be for everyone willing to try it out and explore.
Quick edit: The archinstall on the ISO & the one he downloaded are 1 in the same. It is just an updated version, which comes preinstalled on the newest ISO anyways.
This video made me brave enough to take the leap from Linux Mint. A friend smugly told me to run Arch if I really wanted a system I control myself… So I looked around and found this! Not really much harder to install Arch with KDE as desktop environment this way compared to installing MS-DOS or Windows 3.1 back in the day. And you, my sir, have a new subscriber.
I was surprised to hear the German music during the installation timelapse
What the elitists haven't mentioned yet is that it's not just USING Arch that makes you one of them; it's also going through the difficult manual process of installing it.
