    If you ever want to sweat and earn some knowledge that manual install process is a way to use up two weekends doing just that if it’s your first time.

      If it’s your first time with Arch. Because if it’s your first time with Linux there’s no point.

        … The whole source of the meme is that I’m just dumping arch into VMs. Download an easy to use VM manager like gnome boxes or virt-manager and use the snapshot functionality to come back to it later.

      honestly once you learn how to install Gentoo and/or NetBSD every other install is an absolute cake walk.

      Really though like you said it’s valuable knowledge to learn.
