hey everyone 👋 today i'm planning to install arch linux manually for the first time.
pulled out my old tower PC out of the closet and wiped Windows 10.
CPU: Intel64 Family 6 Model 94 (~2.8 GHz)
RAM: 4 GB 😬 (The first bottleneck is always fun!)
Storage: 250 GB SSD + 500 GB HDD
Old OS: Windows 10 Pro
i'm doing it partly to understand linux at a deeper level and partly because i've heard it's a rite of passage 😅
planning to pick GNOME, please let me know if this one is okay.
I might document this in some sort of thread and post my evolution.
any tips, or things you wish you'd known before your first manual arch install?
