Gentooman here;
Is this really how fucking Arch is installed?
>>
>>54738525
From a layman's point of view, how is it any different from a Gentoo install?

>Gentooman here
Prove it, buster.
>>
>>54738525
Yeah, but it only shows instructions for Ethernet users.
Along with installing the grub tools, you also need to install
iw networkmanager dialog
.
The last column isn't necessary, and I myself prefer bash to zsh, but infinality and yaourt is always nice to have.
>>
>>54738525
No, you install Antergos and pretend its Arch.

First off, take off the trip senpai.
It had issues recognising my WiFi card, though the regular Arch ISO noticed it just fine. It failed to format the HDD, and even through Ethernet that I routed through my other laptop, downloading everything was slow as heck (~10KB/s compared to 500-1000KB/s).

no big deal

Not exactly, but pretty close. What else would you expect from a more or less bare bones distro?

It isn't difficult after you've done it once or twice.

I managed to figure it out in half a day with no previous experience in linux, coming from windows 7.

Yeah; gentoo is my first Linux OS actually. It's just basically following a guide.

Why do you even care if you use Gentoo?
Gentoo > Arch

Cause I want to try and find out why archfags even try to compare their installation process to Gentoo

I-I-I did those infographics
https://a.uguu.se/2ynjmxTjymRz_I_DID_THAT

I got some ideas for improvements, at least for arch installation, to give additional optimization, but i am undecided if going for it...

for applications list, not much ideas for some changes
I dont see some new/better stuff thats worth to be added
99% arguments against it is aimed at 3 proprietary applications and people dont have better replacement thats not already there, they just feel the little stallman in themselves crying because not everything is opensource
Atom is coming I guess whenever I make an update, but hell, its slow on startup I just really dont feel like adding it there... but having only sublime there feels wrong

>Don't follow his so called guides
Any actual reasons?

>>54738715
>Along with installing the grub tools, you also need to install iw networkmanager dialog
Seems rather strange place for that... why doing along the grub?
and how did you get the wifi to work before those tools are up? Does the bootable iso come with them?
Obviously I never did wifi part of arch installation, thats why its lacking in that department

>>Along with installing the grub tools, you also need to install iw networkmanager dialog

So you don't need to chroot into later once rebooting and realising they aren't installed
>and how did you get the wifi to work before those tools are up? Does the bootable iso come with them?
Yes, the Live CD comes with those tools preinstalled.
>>
>>54738525
yes, the standard gentoo install is somewhat similar.

the guy who made that sheet is retarded though
>>
>>54739934
Poo in loo, Swapnil
>>
>>54740008
dude the guy is a fucking tech illiterate

I had to explain to him how a live USB even works and that there is a kernel and enviroment on it that has preinstalled tools like wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd
>>
>>54738715
networkmanager is shit, use netctl.
>>
>>54738525
Really don't understand why people keep hating on this infographic.
The last two columns are very helpful.

You can just install Antergos. It's vanilla Arch with skins for DEs.

Didn't know you could do that, thanks anon

I probably won't alias it though because I didn't earn my epenor

>Antergos is fucking rad

until it breaks with an update.

if you want arch, install arch.
>>
>>54741458
Fuck off,gora!
>>
>>54738869
You probably just needed to edit the mirrorlist
>>
>>54743301

Antergos IS Arch. The only thing it adds is an additional repo with trivial shit like icon and DE themes. Antergos isn't a weird clusterfuck like Manjaro.

why is that gnome so pretty?

does it come with a lot of bloat?

This I can't bother to write too much - but I basically wasted lots of time with the comments on that reddit page.

Everything the guy suggested is already explained and updated on wiki + much more details and depth there.
