Arch isn't normally something I'd use but uni needed it. (programming.dev)

Had to install Arch recently because it would help pad word count. Normally I wouldn't pick it because it takes so long to install for an experience that doesn't feel different enough to warrant that time. But I had to for uni so I thought people here might appreciate my attempt at making a pretty desktop. If anyone has tips with Gnome on here feel free to fire away aswell.

If you're not using an installer and you've never set up an OS via CLI, installing arch takes a very long time. The installation wiki isn't short, and it's fairly complex.

I still wouldn't say its a very long time, my nephew was able to run through it himself in around 25 minutes via the wiki.
