I don’t use Arch but if I did id probably go with archinstall. I don’t see the point in going from scratch unless you absolutely need to. I could care less about bragging rights for installing an operating system lol.
I just don’t bother going for archinstall when regular installation “from scratch” takes 5 minutes (or 15, if you do it the first time). It is not scary and extremely simple, contrary to memes. Besides, it makes you understand the processes involved.
Archinstall is just a little, nice helper to shorten and simplify installation even more.
It’s like a page worth of instructions you can follow verbatim excluding bootloader and network. If you watch one video of someone doing it to fill those gaps there is nothing to it.
Source: I watched Kai Hendry speed install arch, bookmarked the video and all my machines are now arch “from scratch” in 10 minutes or less of actual keyboard time.
I don’t remember the channel anymore, but there’s one guy constantly updating various setups. Like Arch with encryption, Arch with BTRFS, etc. I started with one of those videos and wrote my own step by step guide. Now I’m just following my own guide whenever I install Arch.
I think calling it “a page worth” is understating it somewhat, especially if you want a full install to actually use stuff. In reality, when installing at first, you’ll be finding stuff you missed for a while, like hardware video decoding.
Also, are you referring to just the direct instructions for one choice? Because to me, the point of installing manually is educating yourself on the choices, choosing one that suits you, and understanding what you’re doing to set it up. Of course, when you’re doing subsequent installs, you already know that stuff - but at that point you might just want to write an install script instead of running them manually.
And yeah quite lost cuz it turns out the only reason I saw this post was because I was browsing by “everything,” I thought I was browsing in my subscriptions. Am so lost.
lol 🤣… yeah, has happened to me while, for some reason, I’ve started browing some community and just forgot that I was in it, instead of my feed, like “boy, they sure overdid the meme posts today” 🤣🤣🤣.
Yeah, I use it as well 😂. Hell, if it’s for a baby’s skin, it can’t hurt for grown ups 🤷 😂.
Does wonders to be honest, rashes gone in a day or two. It really is a great product (and not that expensive as well). Would recommend it to anyone if you can find it in pharmacies 👍.
