I haven’t used Linux as a desktop since back in the 2.0/2.1 kernel days, when you were praying the next kernel release would add support for the bits and pieces that made up your kit.
After 2 months of Ubuntu, I decided to dive into Arch and Endeavour has made it made it easy so far!
Best Arch based distro. No extra bs, just very minimal install. These days archinstall does the same job but I really love their community.
Fellow Endeavour user here (with KDE)! Arch is nice, but after installing it so many times it’s just nicer to have something set up for you.
-
Install Arch
-
Set it up the way you like as an installed baseline system
-
Boot to your Arch system
-
Install Arch on a usb drive
-
Mount the rootfs of the usb to /mnt
-
dd if=/dev/sda of=/mnt/arch.iso
(replace /dev/sda with the drive of your current Arch system)
- umount /mnt
To install your setup, boot to the usb, and type:
dd if=/arch.iso of=/dev/sda
(replace sda with the drive you want to install Arch on)
