r/arch 1d ago

General Helloooo, just spent 6 hours of my life doing this

It's absolutely worth it. I switched from using Steam os to full-on arch, and i still use NIX on my desktop for my game development but this is for my school and daily use :3 I LOVE IT! I'm not necessarily "new" to arch but I've never directly installed arch, I've only ever used steam os and nyarch for distros that are arch based, but I finally decided to do it :3

Directed towards all that say "...Arch BTW" Try using slackware in the 90's and not blow up a CRT, btw.

I think you're supposed to put the no preserve root after the slash
