I did last night. Tried Fedora for a couple of days to just "diversify" my shit, but nope, the laptop kept waking up to a black screen every single time I opened the lid. Was like you know what fuck you, let me install Arch. It's now running perfectly.

- But.. but arch is supposed to be broken. What do you mean it just works?

  Whoever says that is either just a hater/bitter or just never tried Arch. I DOES just work. I've had it on my desktop for a whole year now. I have never had to use timeshift to restore. I never had to spend all day to fix shit. It just worked this whole time. One thing that annoys me about it is the constant updates I get. Lol. But I just ignore them and do it once a week or so.

I build my desktop setup from Debian base so I can be more offbeat than the arch crowd.

- I feel like Debian people are the ones who wear fedoras, and the ones who use Fedora wear golf attire.
  
  Then you got Arch people like me (black jeans and hoody) who need to ham it into every conversation that I use Arch.

I installed endeavor. Now I want to try arch with the arch install script. Then I want to try the traditional install.

- archinstall is so easy I'm convinced almost anybody can do it.

  Same. I installed Arch the manual way a few times, then tried archinstall. It’s dead easy

  Last time I tried (a few months ago), it only is easy for single-boot setups. If you want to dual boot, you have to define the BTRFS submodules yourself, manually... why?? Just give me sane defaults, please.

- Do it the traditional way! Its good to learn that stuff and feel comfortable tinkering around your system when need be... Especially when dealing with partitioning and setting up your bootloader.

  I just used the Arch Install script last time, does that make me a bad person?

  Thank you, that is acceptable.

I remember trying that and then had multiple .debs I wanted to install that weren't in the repos and had to switch back.

I’m considering installing Linux on my PC. Haven’t used Linux since 2006-2007 using ubantu. Any recommendations?
