From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's been a minute since I used Arch Install, but a killer feature would be if it did wifi connection for you too. Iirc you have to connect to wifi from terminal before usage

(And before someone says iTs So EaSy, 1. No it's not and 2. Even if it was, that's an extra step)

I also use curses when installing arch.

Hopefully it gets easier so I can use n(o)curses

I honestly can't believe it wasn't curses based already

I use EndeavourOS btw

One time I used archinstall, it randomly crashed and then worked after a few attempts, I hope it works better now

I was able to set my Framework laptop with it but wifi was spotty so I had to wire it up to the switch
