I’m planning to install Arch Linux for the first time. Any recommendations on setup, must-have applications, or best practices? Also, what’s something you wish you knew before switching to Arch?

    Mostly BC its low effort. The most intimidating thing about arch for me was the troubleshooting when things go wrong. I’m cool with that in general operation but not during the installation process. Endeavor makes it painless while still being a minimalistic install

      What issues were you having with arch-install that you had to troubleshoot?

        Manually resizing/replacing the efi partitions for Windows dual boot was where I decided to stop and switch to a graphical installer.
