Installing Artix Manually Was...Really Easy, Actually

04/18/2022

I think there is a lot of weird elitism or fear mongering when it comes to installing an operating system like Arch or Gentoo from a plain base(d) ISO. However, it’s extremely easy if you simply just know what you’re doing. Honestly, all you need to know how to do is use a text editor, know what partitions you’re installing things to, and know if you have a UEFI or BIOS system. If you know those three things, you can very easily get a full graphical installation of your favorite minimalist distro in less than an hour.1
