Installing Arch for the first time... Wish me luck.

I suggest you to follow gogudatech55 tutorials, he has explained every command.

If i managed to do it everyone can 😂

Try antergos. It's based on Arch.

Try following gloriouseggroll on YouTube, if you miss any step. I did it the first times, he's good.

Good luck. Took me two days to finally get things up and running, mainly due to shit net though.

@imdnxt I installed Antergos yesterday (I used Debian before) and I'm curious to try Arch.. So far so good! :)

I remember it looked so difficult and complicated when I first tried to install it (It took me more than 5 tries aswel). But now that i understand arch i know its just a few basic commands. Have fun exploring !

@oxcened @imdnxt @therealssj
Welcome, newcomers!

I'm curious about your choice of DE or just pure CLI?

@whitekoffee I personally prefer GNOME over KDE because (w/o configuration) I like how it looks / behaves "out of the box", Xfce is kinda outdated, Mate and Cinnemon is basically Schrödinger's GNOME: it is but it isn't (Mate is based on GNOME 2 / Cinnemon on GNOME 3), Lxde is nice on older machines because it's pretty lightweight

@CorruptComputer @Jilano thanks! loving this place

You don't need luck, just follow along with the wiki. It's great and one of the best documentations I've seen.

In case things don't work out. Try: Architect, Antergos, Manjaro, Arch-Anywhere.
All Arch-based derivatives.

@darkness Just don't ever mention the Arch variants on the Arch Forum because the purist there will refuse to give any support. Nice documentation, awesome community and just a little pinch of assholes.

@whitekoffee Lel. Totally agreed!

@whitekoffee I use manjaro and I know exactly what you are talking about 😃

@Jilano thnx. Getting external audio to work has been a pain though.
