I've installed Arch the "hard way" and the archinstall way. You still end up with Arch.
The script makers it so much easier and it's done in minutes.
It's only gatekeeping numpties who want you to use the old method.

Good luck with it.

Interesting thing that happened today. My 93 yr old mother-in-law didn't know that Alan Partridge was actually a TV character.

After my explanation, she said "I thought he was a bit odd".

And if challenged on it Trump will start talking, pause, ask the reporter who they work for, then shout "you're fake news", and move on to the next question.

All the journalists should make a pact and say "if he asks, say Fox News".

I love that he has the chutzpah to wear that at 15. And that he enjoyed staying quiet for a bit. Hats off to the lad.

12 years ago working at John Lewis, the store was in the middle of the two minute silence, when Sean, whose watch was wrong, announced over the speaker system that the store would be observing the two minute silence at 11am.
To be fair, he was mortified. I'd imagine he still is all these years later

In a world of Love Island, First Dates, Married at First Sight etc. Not to mention many channels obsession with serial killers and the worst evil crimes...
I'll take Traitors over that every time.

I had one the other day. They'd run out of curry sauce. I'm still annoyed about it.

I feckin' hate this advert. It actually makes me angry.

I have to change channel, or at least mute it. Honest.

So you only watched 10 minutes of it, but it was a "tedious waste of broadcasting time".
This is like reading an album review, when the reviewer has only heard the last track.

It means they LOVE our country far more than you and I do. And don't you dare forget it.

When they announced the celeb version I wasn't keen. I had visions of a dozen Love Island rejects, or that bloke who almost passed out on Naked Attraction. But I loved every second of this series. Apart from one or two, I was very happy, and impressed, with the celebs.

No "I should've Known" on the list?

If you go with any of the big guns, Debian, Mint, Ubuntu or Fedora, you're going to have a good experience, with a large and helpful community to help out when you need it.
Make a list of must-have software & see if any of it doesn't run on Linux. If that's a deal breaker, stay where you are.

"I installed Linux back in 2009 and everything has been runnng just fine"

On the whole that's pretty much true. Things were fun when I had an Nvidia GPU, but stuff still worked. It was when I got an AMD gpu, I realised how good it can be.

Linux isn't for everyone, but I don't regret a day of it.

Never was one of them. Never will be one of them. And what should be clearly evident to them, he also doesn't give a flying toss about them.

If Badenoch and Jenrick are your best options for leader, something has gone very wrong with your party.
