Do you know of any guides to getting started with Arch?

I’ve been wanting to switch for a while but the challenge is daunting and I am very tech literate.

I'll second EndeavorOS.

Also, the Arch wiki is well known as one of the most comprehensive guides for any Linux distro. It's massive.

Endeavour os is arch for novices or try archinstall script

I recently used archinstall and cannot recommend it. It offers you to select a graphics driver (i.e. NVIDIA proprietary) and just doesn't install it. It also seems to preference having a minimal system rather than a good experience but fair enough, that's just what Arch is: Masochism on a disc.

If that's masochism on disc then what is gentoo and lfs is?)

[–] unionagainstdhmo@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Well Arch seems to entirely lack QA and my experience with it has shown that package maintainers don't seem to care or test stuff.

  • They updated CUDA before the NVIDIA driver a while ago so you couldn't run or compile CUDA programs
  • For some reason GNOME wasn't loading past the login screen (just freezing on a grey screen with a cursor)
  • GLFW somehow got stuffed up such that the titlebar went all bad and had performance issues with Vulkan

Gentoo at least seem to have some QA and LFS must be Masochism on a disc: Ultimate Edition, but at least with LFS you're learning how a Linux system is put together. Unlike Arch where you spend more time dealing with the problems of the community

If you non tech savvy, i recommend you to use Garuda Linux
Its arch based & will guide you through it very easily
