  • There's no graphical installer officially, no. There are many Arch derivatives with installers though, like CachyOS.

    Installing Arch is literally running like 10 commands, and it's all very well documented.

    1. Put your Archiso USB stick in and reboot
    2. Format your disks if needed, mkfs
    3. Mount root and boot partitions
    4. Run pacstrap to install base system
    5. Generate fstab
    6. In chroot, set time and locale(s), set password, install bootloader
    7. Choose/install a network manager, like systemd-networkd
    8. Reboot

    Now you're running Arch. Make a user and install a DE, optionally.

  • And when in doubt, just check the Arch wiki, it's a gold mine

  • Comparing Arch and Gentoo is wild. Arch is so much more simple and well documented.

  • less likely to break during an update

    In my experience, Ubuntu and Debian are by far the most likely to break during an upgrade

  • It's super easy to start a VM to try.

    Just install qemu (and optionally enable KVM), then to run eg. Ubuntu installer:

     
        
    qemu-system-x86_64 \
      -enable-kvm \
      -m 2G \
      -cpu host \
      -smp 2 \
      -cdrom /path/to/ubuntu-24.04-desktop-amd64.iso \
      -hda ubuntu-disk.qcow2 \
      -boot d \
      -vga virtio \
      -display gtk
    
      

    After you install it, run the VM:

     
        
    qemu-system-x86_64 \
      -enable-kvm \
      -m 2G \
      -cpu host \
      -smp 2 \
      -hda ubuntu-disk.qcow2 \
      -boot c \
      -vga virtio \
      -display gtk
    
      

    Or use libvirt, like a layer on top to make things much simpler. I use virt-manager for GUI and virsh on command line.

  • Facebook Messenger also claims to be end-to-end encrypted... There's literally no way of knowing if they can decrypt your messages.

    The only way to know is to host it yourself and preferably use post-quantum secure encryption.

  • I will never understand people who willingly subject themselves to Debian when there are so many better alternatives

  • Who is moaning?

  • It is, and people are sharing all the knowledge in the world, in a way that was never possible before.

    Just because an AI-driven botnet is flooding it with bogus articles, and mainstream entertainment is full of brain rot, it doesn't mean the internet isn't incredibly useful, to the point that many people would struggle with daily life without it.

  • How is the Internet not a network of knowledge open to anyone??

    It's full of crap, yes. Back then it was just much smaller, but still very much crap-filled.

  • You don't have to be an adult to post malware and hire DDoS botnets

  • Literally only USA ever thought USA was the good guys

  • Yea they did, it was revised to whatever this bs is, which is now also being revised.

  • It's too open and free to have morons like this minister running around spewing bs

  • This is the worst part of YouTube. Just read the manual.

  • They already pulled back the part about banning VPNs last night, before this post was even made.

  • There's a good chance this guy is just a moron.
