                         A lot of arch users will get pissed as fuck at me but <b>its ok to use arch install</b>.
                         I personally prefer manually installing arch and wouldnt want to do it any other way so
-                        I dont use it.

                         The <a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide" target="_blank">offical
                             arch installation guide</a> and other resources on the arch wiki is a great way to

+                            guide</a> alongside the resources. Some arch users may be pissed I dare tell people
+                        to go watch a youtube video. I am sure most arch installation guides on youtube suck but
+                        DT's video is killer. Plus its not a replacement for the wiki, its just to help follow it
+                        a bit easier and act as a good jumping off point.
+                        <br/><br/>
+                        Some things I gotta add is for me DT's video I linked doesnt work 100 percent.
+                        When setting up grub it cant find the efi directory. You gotta use a switch to show that
+                        command that fails the efi directory. I forgor the switch and I am too lazy to look it up
+                        but you can find it if the <code>--help</code> flag. Also to dual boot with nasty nasty MS Windows(R)
+                        you gotta install ntfs-3g for it to be able to read MS Windows(R) ntfs(R) Microsoft(R) partitions.
+                        You also gotta set <code>GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false</code> in <code>/etc/default/grub</code>
+                        and mount the MS Windows(R) directory in the efi directory for OS proper to work sometimes.

+                        Make sure you install a good ass DE or WM. No better DE than good old trusty xfce. Your also going to want lightdm
+                        with that. Thunar is a quite useable file manager though you can betterize it with gvfs or another opinional packages
+                        for cool fancy shit. Or for even more cool fancy things get something like spaceFM. Just fuck around tbh.

+                                For multi monitor refresh rate issues add these to your /etc/environment<br/>
