DEBUG A COUPLE KERNEL MODULE CONFLICTS Unironically I love linux people, stay silly please.
Surely it would be good to include those in the install guide, right? Like at all? I might have installed Arch right if I knew this. Thank you btw!!!
Yeah it’d be helpful, but none of this stuff is actually specific to arch so I think the install guide just assumes you already know it. That’s the thing about arch, it’s not actually that complex, it just doesn’t prioritize accessibility which isn’t necessarily a good thing. Like, the developers describe it as a “medium to advanced distro” which, more so than the assigned difficulty level, kinda shows how the developer approach it in that they think of difficulty as just another option in distro choice rather than an objective flaw. It’s definitely not for everyone. It can be really fun if you’re actually into tinkering around with it, but it’s definitely not for everyone and there’s actually a lot of advanced users who do know how everything works, but still prefer to use other distros just because they don’t want to go through the effort of maintaining an arch system (like the nerdiest, most tech proficient guy I know just uses kubuntu lol). That said, don’t let this discourage you from running if you want to. It can be a really rewarding experience building putting together your system from scratch and it really is doable if you just put in a little effort to figure it out, and the wiki really is good at explaining how everything works (I’ve only had it bork itself by deleting the kernel during an upgrade once! )
Your welcome!
Okay so it's not actually "hard", it just requires foreknowledge they won't tell you about. Which is like, I could likely sit down and learn it, I would maybe tinker if I knew stuff, but why bother when the thing won't even meet me halfway? Nice install guide, idiots!! Idk it's kind of dork shit.
To be fair, it’s mainly just some basic shell knowledge and stuff that you can learn by following the links on the guide (as well as the all important
man
pages) so if you want to give it another shot then don’t feel discouraged. That said, it’s actually completely normal to want a system that doesn’t require you to do your own research.An alternative, if you want something that more thoroughly walks you through all the steps and is designed to actually teach you how it all works is to use linux from scratch and then install dpkg and apt, but beware that, while lfs is designed to actually teach you how everything works instead of just assuming you know everything, building your entire system from source is way more work
