I just spent the last 2 weeks installing Arch Linux. I'm not even fucking joking. The install process is just the most convoluted and confusing fucking procedure ever. I followed the beginner's guide many times. It wouldn't be a problem if the fucking guide actually explained to me in plain English WHAT THE FUCK the commands even. Then maybe I wouldn't have made so many typos due to mindlessly copying commands straight from the page.
It wasn't even the typos that set me back the most, it was that it kept asking me fucking edit files. How the fuck am I supposed to edit files when I'm on a fucking command line? There is no Word or notepad ++ to open to edit the files.
It asked me to edit sources.list and after spending around a fucking hour trying to figure out how to even get to the file without a fucking mouse cursor and I couldn't figure out how to edit it. You can't do that shit from the command line.
I used the famed 'pacman' (who the fuck names a command after an ancient video game?) to install note pad ++ but all it gave me was errors.

Anyone who uses this awful command line bullshit is a fucking time wasting retard. Use a real OS for fuck's sake.

Beginners guide is spell checked.
It is in the most simple English you can get to install the OS without a problem.
It tells you about the existence of both Vi and Nano (Terminal text editors available on the live cd and base distribution).
Also Notepad++ is not available for linux.


-10 /10 would not take the bait.

I tried to install freebsd today but I couldn't manage to add my user account to the sudoers file because I can't use vi, so I gave up.

I agree that the beginners' guide is uneccesarily cryptic and has a very skewed image of what constitutes a beginner.
