I'm doing it.
I'm installing Arch. How fucked am I already? I'm downloading the base system right now.
You're going to realize that you have to download and configure the packages on your own, and then eventually give up.
GG
enjoy
It won't make a difference

You're fucked, cuck.
Are you doing a dry run in a VM, OP? Pussy.
>>53940533
Of course not.
I'm going to run it in seamless mode on vbox. Pretty similar to running it natively, right?...
Also, what bootloader would you suggest? GRUB?
>>53940565
>Pretty similar to running it natively, right?...
Not really but no big deal.
GRUB is what I use but I'm autismal so I purge systemd as soon as possible. If you don't care about that gummiboot will work fine.
i use gnu/arch-i3 it really is your only options.
i started using it to try it, i really cant stop. as you can see i havent configured much, i only recently got around to making my user account SUDO (since it wasnt automatic) is way faster and takes advantage of my hardware way more, i have quadraphonic harmon kardon speakers in my laptop that were greatly gimped by beats by dre software, no longer problem for me. :]
embrace it :D

are you like retarded?
>>53940590
did you really nuke systemd/evil/ or the init anon
>>53940610
I hope for your sake this is bait.
>>53940648
The entire thing. Replaced it with OpenRC.
>>53940660
What problems do you have with systemd? I'm curious.
>>53940624
Honestly I'm only installing this shit because I want to install a distro from scratch (because I never have before) and because I need it for projects 'cause microshaft wingnut is shit for that.
>>53940565
syslinux
Grub is bloated bullshit.grub2 config is btfo
>>53940369
You actually fell for the arch linux meme.
>>53940750
Leave, shill.
>>53940708
Well, I don't want to take over the thread with my autism, but in short I think systemd is becoming a second kernel. Not in as many words, but by gobbling up every system-critical task in userspace that's what it becomes.
I'm not suckless-tier but I do think there should be a closer adherence to the Unix philosophy than "lel let's recreate svchost".
>>53940714
Why not use Cygwin or that new Ubuntu subsystem? Seems more convenient even if it's kinda gimped.
Fuck.
What have I done wrong?
>>53940708
systemd wants to be an OS.
It is raping the system,and dev's are too lazy to take a stand against it. It was a good idea in the beggining,but now it is usurping one proccess at a time.
>>53940766
>>53940714
What the fug is grub-bios
Just install grub and it does the right thing automatically.
>>53940771
It's just sitting there, screaming "GRUB" at me.
>>53940784
Did you grub-mkconfig?
>>53940797
Yeah.
>>53940405
Is there one of these for Gentoo or does it generally apply to any barebones Linux distro?
>>53940814
All I can guess is that grub-bios is the legacy version of GRUB. Whether I install on MBR or EFI systems I just use the package grub.
>not installing syslinux instead of GRUB
>>53940660
me too anon
very happy with it too
could you explain how you replaced udev
Maybe I marked a partition as the wrong boot type?
>>53940978
Just fucking kill yourself
Good luck getting X to work
>>53940983
lmao take your meds senpai
>>53940978
lol are you using some 150$ chromebook fgt?
>>53941171

>>53940369
guess you're not that fucked
arch is not that good though so you'll probably move to a better distro when you're done practicing your 1337 h4x0r skillz
>>53941171
you know your a retard when you can't type
pacman -S xorg-server xorg-server-utils xorg-apps
>>53941184
It's a 32gb virtual disk.
>>53941203
I'm already just going to ubuntu or something. It was fun while it lasted.
>>53941215
>not typing pacman -S xorg then choosing only what you need using the numbers
PLEB
>>53940369
Install gentoo

1 hour 11 minutes...
With patience like that you really shouldn't have bothered OP.
Last month i installed arch for the lulz. I thought it would be fun and all. Started by reading FAQ, guides and everything on the wiki.
After I plugged my Rufus pen drive on USB, it would be a piece of cake i said.
I couldnt be more wrong. I suffered to configure the keyboard (lol at i typed latin as the wiki and realized what i did), failed to set up wireless properly, had to start all of it again, just to stuck at partitioning using commands instead of a gui / text guid, and finally it worked! i rebooted the system, had the stick taken off and tried to access the wire...less but then i noticed i should had downloaded dialog during installation. then i started all of it again. it was ok this time, i already did lots of stuff and learned a lot. but for some reasong xorg didnt work when i installed it. the wiki didnt mention some sutff it was needed and then i did a fresh install again.
after two days of hard work, everything was set up. working like a charm. until i tried to configure eduroam. i gave up. :(
>>53941752
>reinstalling 4 times in a row instead of using chroot
come on man
>>53941795
if it doenst come perfect it needs to be started again....
or even i didnt knew what is chroot. it was my first time installing something from the core. never managed directories that way and i still learning. it is a good experience.
i succeded at doing lots of things and im proud of myself. (but im moving to some other distro because i dont have time to install arch on a new notebook all over again)
>>53940829
What the fuck did this guy just say? For fucking real.
Guys are you seeing this? What the actual fuck.
>>53940829
What the hell is this shit man
>>53941752
baaaaaait
>>53941355
pacman doesn't do that mate--that is yaourt
>>53942439
nope
>>53941752
>Install ubuntu
>works every time
>no reading anything
>Don't fit in with bitter CS dropouts
Each one of these are a positive thing including the last one.
>>53942508
>installing Amabuntu TM
>software works because it is 2 years old
>No readin the agreement you make when you agree to have everything you ever type in your distro,sent to amazon fo "marketing" reasons.
>>53942501
So you can install part of a group?
I haven't try it to say the truth.
>>53942547
You can install which ever you want, which is why they have numbers,and why at the bottom it just says "default=all"
>>53942508
im trying to install scientific linux now. maybe it will suit my needs
>>53940369
I just went back to windows from arch
Have fun with your instability.
>>53940405
Good! Do you have one for Gentoo?
>>53942754
>windows installs some update i dont tell it too

I am free
Hope you don't have any unpopular hardware like nvidia 800 series low-end mobile gpus.
>>53942792
That's what I'm looking for.
>>53940660

what is netctl and netctl-eduroam? Or you could have installed a complete DE if you wanted your hand held.
