#linuxtablet #linuxaudio Arch can be installed through the CLI, as well as through #archinstall. In addition, there are at least two additional independent installer projects. These all use vanilla Arch. Then there are the Arch family of distros. The ones that immediately catch my attention are: #endeavouros (what I currently use), #garuda, #rebornos, and #manjaro linux. These all benefit from the AUR and from being rolling releases. Most are highly configurable and benefit from the Arch wiki.

#linuxtablet So, I was able to successfully install Arch. I tried to do it manually, because I wanted to learn. Between constant family distractions and such, I got about halfway before I had to go somewhere with my family. When I came back, it was late. I used #archinstall and got the install done in minutes. Arch was installed, but there were several things still pending. I’m sure it wouldn’t take too much time to figure things out, but I was out of time.
