It’s not so bad. You just have to sacrifice a goat to the waxing moon while capricorn is ascending.

Enuf with the Arch hate already…

Fedora and Debian are cool,
but Arch is too,
their Wiki is amazing and so is the AUR.

And no I don’t use Arch btw,
I use Manjaro,
which has suited me fine for years now.

Sad that this is neither a haiku nor a poem. But I still agree.

Enough with the Arch hate, already!
Arch admins just want code sans spaghetti!
Debian, Fedora, guess they can be cool…
But us Arch users don’t need no ‘installer tool’

We all know the Arch wiki’s amazin’,
(but at the risk of some minor noob hazin’)
If you can’t get far with their great AUR
Then Mint might be more where you are

Now as much as it pains me to say
There’s no Arch on my box, by the way
Manjaro’s OS has been my fave for years
(To be honest Arch leaves many in tears)

That can absolutely qualify as a poem.

I heard the hype, did an install of arch ( before the installer script ) followed the wiki and was done and running gnome desktop in a very short amount of time. However, the tweaking afterward is where I prefer a currated distro. i.e. My OpenSUSE does snapshot cleanups on its own based on time or number, btrfs scrub and other jobs happen without me having to touch a command line. Sometimes I just want to get work done and not worry about the OS.

I’ll repeat what I said the last time this was posted: NO f*cking way the Fedora guy got past the partition configuration step without pulling at least a few hairs out! I love Fedora, but that UI is just cursed!

Am I the only one that’s not had trouble with it? What’s the big issue?

I love Anaconda, but I will admit the partition management isn’t very intuitive. That is the only thing I can ding it on though, in every other regard it’s an amazing installer.

Just wipe everything and select automatic partitioning

this is the way

on my main system i have arch with a partitioning scheme that has worked well for me because i took time to research and identify what i needed from it. i even got full disk encryption working after the fact!

on fedora i click automatic partitioning, wipe the drives i want, and don’t do more than that because the partitioning screen feels extremely confusing.

I just had to imagine you facing the fedora installer’s partitioning tool:
