Thread 106292012

Why doesn't Arch have graphical automated install? Think of the countless hours collectively wasted of people needlessly typing genfstab and gen-locale and creating a symlink to set a timezone.

>>106292012 (OP)
Install CachyOS

noob filter

install scripts and arch "distributions" are available.
but it's a distro for mentally ill tinkertrannies anyways, they like it like that. anyone sane is on debian, fedora or ubuntu.

>>106292012 (OP)
wasting time installing it is the entire distro gimmick

>>106292012 (OP)
it's to make losers like mudasaar feel like a computer engineer when they install it instead of actually getting a degree

>>106292012 (OP)
it does. just type in the command "archinstall". tui is a kind a graphics

>>106292012 (OP)
it's so that us who have actually installed it feel superior and better about ourselves

>>106292012 (OP)
yesterday i did a system update and my wifi stopped working. i spent hours trying to fix it and it just wouldnt come back. fuck this disgusting transexualised piece of shit mongoloid fucking distro tailor made for niggers and pedophiles. fuck all of you

delete the saved networkmanager profile for the wireless card and add it again with exactly the same parameters

why? i don't know. happened to me once or twice in ~5 years.

Just use Debian Stable like a reasonable person.

>>106292029
posts like these just make me lol at this point

Arch literally comes with an install script now though? There's no reason for it to be graphical. If you can't even navigate an ASCII menu then what are you doing?

>>106292320
factually true posts make you lol?

>>106292012 (OP)
just write your own script, it's not that hard, put every step you do into a bash script and you're done

artix doesn't have this issue

>>106292012 (OP)
You can't feel like a cool hacker when using a graphical installer.

>>106292012 (OP)
installing with 'archinstall' is literally easier than installing windows

>>106292012 (OP)
Go use one that does if thats what you want. Why does everything have to be the same?

>>106292012 (OP)
it does, it's called pacstrap.

>>106292409
sure thing, keep suffering on your tranian distro, kek

>>106292029
you are absolutely right, but Arch is also probably the best distribution if you are really into computers and operating systems and want to learn all about how everything works under the hood. so it's not JUST for tinkertrannies (but it is, mostly)

>>106293430
>learn how everything works
that's gentoo.
Arch automates its install with scripts like genfstab, archroot, pacstrap, etc.
Gentoo is the one that explains to you where everything goes, what its purpose is, and how to set it up manually.
Arch is a delusion for 2 digit iq trannies to think they're doing something cool, or that they know how linux works. Every single package in the arch repo comes preconfigured with every option/module under the sun, kernel included. So you don't have to learn how things fit together or work together. Everything is done for you, but instead of feeding you with the spoon, they asked you to type an alias on the command like first, then they fed you with the spoon. Arch kiddies don't even know their distro well enough, nevermind "how linux works"

>>106293474
This is why Arch lacking an installer is pure faggotry, Archfags need to stop pretending to be Gentoochads just because they install their OS with CLI, it is the same exact process as an automated installer except instead of pressing buttons you type the preconfigured installation commands instead.

>>106292633
It's not arch unless you symlinked your locale by hand

>>106292029
This. The whole appeal of arch is that it's seems complicated to noobs so Arch users can feel clever, despite being too stupid to use gentoo.

Reasons Arch devs have for not putting Calamares installer on the ISO:

I use arch because it's easy to customize. Like my gender

idk fuck all that i use manjaro

>>106295138
Manjaro is for niggers doe lol

archinstall works good. i don't think it does secure boot yet, but it's easy to set up with systemd.
