I'm brand new to linux and was just trying to install something on a partition and I couldn't figure out how to do it with either fedora or mint, they kept giving me errors and asking about mount points and stuff I didn't understand. Then I tried EndeavourOS and the install was so painless, it just asked for the partition and did the rest for me. It also worked with my wifi card out of the box as an added bonus. By far the easiest experience so far. The little bit of googling I had to do to figure out how to use pacman and yay was not a big deal compared to actually getting started with Linux.
This might not count as Arch, but that's my experience at least.
Yeah, every experience is valid! I was just stating my opinion about the general state of Linux installers, but the experience varies alot from person to person. Glad you made it to Linux tho ๐
Haha, yeah, that's the beauty of how easy it is to just make some installation media and try them out. Certainly wasn't meaning to come off as argumentative, sorry if I did!
Oh, I didn't mean to oppose your post or anything! My bad ๐ , Just tried to point some things out.
haha, no not at all!
