I personally prefer manually installing - arch and wouldnt want to do it any other way so I dont use it, btw - (:<br> - <br> - 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 install arch though I - also like to use <a href= - "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQgyW10xD8s" target="_blank">distro - tubes arch installation 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.</p> - </td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td> - <h2 id="post">After installing</h2> - <ul> - <li>Make sure you install a good ass DE or WM. No better DE than - good old trusty xfce.
