Installed Arch. Failed. Tried again. Failed. Went back to Ubuntu. Tried again the week after. Failed 4 more times. Finally installed it correctly. Tried it on my desktop PC and failed 2 more times until I figured it out.

I'm never formatting my hard drives again.

    @lotd Nah, all of this happened a year ago, and I've been pretty happy with Arch ever since

    I pulled off Arch on the first try years ago. Great OS (check the fellows list ;) )

    @oskaremil Oh, I consider that a part of the installation process. And probably the most confusing one of all

    Xfce is usually a good bet for first tries as there is rarely much fuss about it :p

    For me it worked after two tries and some fiddeling with config files quite smoothly. Till now I'm very happy with it and i learned a lot.

    Heh, try Gentoo, or even worse, LFS. (but that doesn't really count as a distro)

    Format, gen fdisk, pacstrap and add efistubs as bootloader. The beginners guide is to overcomplicated, most of it is not needed.

    @bjorngi They recently deleted the beginner's guide. Now it's just the regular one for everybody, which kinda sucks for new people. How are they supposed to know what's important and what's not?

    @ocab19 the beginner guide was crap. The normal guide is much better. Of I've just started with the normal guide the first time I think it would have been a lot smoother.
