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">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">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> +</div> +</div> +<div id="outline-container-post" class="outline-3"> +<h3 id="post"><span class="section-number-3">1.2.</span> After installing</h3> +<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-post"> +<ul class="org-ul"> +<li>Make sure you install a good ass DE or WM.
