I want to learn Linux and I read that installing Arch Linux is a great way to do this. But all guides I’ve found so far only guide you through the steps without much explanation of what it is you are doing during the installation.

Is there a guide that is more “guided” for lack of a better word? One that teaches me what I’m doing and why I’m doing it? I could of course google every single command and step during the installation but I think it would be easier to understand if there would be a guide including all this.

    I’m in the same boat. I installed endeavoros, then arch with archinstall.

    Now I want to do it manually.

    When I started with the archinstall script it kept failing… Finally I tried a new USB and it worked smoothly.

    Are there specific aspects you want to learn? I’m curious about partitioning. Possibly putting my /home on a external SSD.
