To be fair, the install guide does say you should do it all manually at least once so you understand what’s going on. However, it’s not strictly necessary.
I don’t have time to futz with things, so I don’t bother anymore. I rely on my PC for work, so I run Debian/Mint for everything, because it almost never breaks.
I’ve done Arch installs from scratch and with the install script, but I always come back to Debian.
is that a thing?
Yes. Arch has an installer you can run by running “archinstall” from the live boot. Works well, too.
i thought I had to do it all manually. welp, time to boot up virtualbox.
