minus-squareRicaz@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 months agoThere’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. Put your Archiso USB stick in and reboot Format your disks if needed, mkfs Mount root and boot partitions Run pacstrap to install base system Generate fstab In chroot, set time and locale(s), set password, install bootloader Choose/install a network manager, like systemd-networkd Reboot Now you’re running Arch. Make a user and install a DE, optionally.
minus-squareKristell@herbicide.fallcounty.omg.lollinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 months agoIt’s even simpler now: Plug in stick, reboot Select the stick as the boot media “archinstall” Configure Done. I don’t recommend it to first timers, because the install process does get you a good feel of what you’ll be expected to know, but I’ve been running arch for years I’m not doing that manually anymore xD
