It isn't hard. It's just time-consuming.

they have

To teach you how to read a wiki.

>muh I have to run a few commands from off of some website (particularly the arch linux website)
fuck off, tard.

>hard
its not hard it just requires too many steps

Because then the false superiority you feel from an arch install would be gone and you would use debian instead

Read the wiki, is really easy...

>hard
>takes like 10mins to install
(You)

It is neither time consuming nor hard, it takes 15 minutes if you know what you are doing.

Antergos you fucking baiting Reddit idiot.

Antergos
Anarchy
Manjaro

We're done here.

installing it is quite quick, configuring the WM/DE + polkit + permissions + file manager + gtk-kde integration + default apps + xorg + pulse-alsa is the annoying time consuming shit

lmao bow to

Install linux from scratch. This makes installing gentoo easy. Which in turn makes installing arch ezpz.
Thank me later.

>Thank me later.
Nobody should thank you for wasting their time doing what an installer should do. You learn systems from documentation not from finger exercises.

There's nothing in the arch install process that a competent gnu/linux user shouldn't already know.

even if all it did was boot you up a base system, that would be useless to you. Your concept of an "installer" is flawed. Arch isn't about prepackaged bullshit. It's not rounded corners and rubber mallots - it's exactly what you need it to be, and nothing more, and that's the fun of it.

If you can't get through the basic installation steps to get that base system set up, there's no point in installing arch at all. Go get Ubuntu. And while you're at it, get the fuck off Jow Forums.

OP, grab an old ass macbook with clang/llvm and download a copy of Advanced Programming in the Unix environment. You'll end up knowing more than the majority of arch users.

It's meant to be hard. That's the point of Arch. Everything if meant to be hard, to either force you to learn shit, or let you act like a 1337 haxor kid.

antergos is just an installer now, practically.

LIke you learn anything about Linux cutting/pasting from a wiki.

>Why is installing arch so hard Jow Forums? Why can't they just make an installer for it?

It's not that hard actually when you decide to do it once and for all. You just need to know how to read and think a little bit. It's easier when you already have some experience with Linux but really it's okay.
Or just use antergos but with vanilla arch repo, anarchy Linux is not recommended anymore.

well, no, you're meant to read it too...

Are you serious? After gentoo, arch install feels like a walk in a park while the fresh breeze of wind touches your skin, even though it's sunny but kinda cold a bit.

Why isn't anarchy reccomended?

they did, it's called manjaro.

there are actual 3rd party installers (as well as semi-graphical scripts you can run) that aren't complete other distros. but if you're too fuckin lazy to google "arch GUI installer" i don't know what to tell ya mate

Maybe the first time, it takes you an hour to install (if you don't really know any of the terms used on install page).
Follow the steps on the wiki.
Know what the steps on the wiki do.
Gain more knowledge.
Next time, it'll take like 15 minutes.

Is not hard, you just have to copy-paste everything from arch wiki.
Unless you have fucking autism and cannot read then yes! is hard (for you).

Antergos a best

It takes about 3 minutes to install, assuming you can read.

this guy gets it

unless you're a hobbyist just install one of the 5000 pre configured distros and get on with your life. there are more productive ways to earn nerd cred.

btw I use Arch

>unable to remove groff since it's in base.
>say fuck it
>use Openbsd instead and works fine with ast heirloom-doctools.
You can't customize a GNU/systemd system.

Either you have to reinstall several times a year, which is bad.

Or you don't reinstall for years so when the big day comes you didn't remember anything from last time and shit has probably changed too much anyways.

pacman -Rdd groff

thanks but doesn't work as it completely breaks the system. Check out others in the arch website who have tried since 2009.

OP deflecting.

Its a normie filter.

Installing doesn't take that long at all, I don't know what you're talking about.

first time installing arch took less than half an hour of just copypasting shit from the wiki
installing fucking xorg and KDE took forever because something was broken about the xorg package or some shit

Why is installing arch so hard Jow Forums?
It's literally dozen of commands to have it running plus another one to install GPU drivers, DE, desired programs and stuff. After doing it once or twice, it takes 30min max.
