How much time does it take to install Arch ?

>>58410826
1 min.

Not defined because you decide to install Gentoo instead

>>58410826
If you want a true answer
Maybe 2.5 if you're a haxxor pro, but it'll be somewhere between 3 and 6 hours

Simple install? About 20 minutes.

Complex install wiht FDE on an SSD drive with a graphics card, Wifi, Bluetooth... about 2 days... after you read and absorb all the relevant information from the Wiki.

What

5 minutes if you install Manjaro instead. It's just as autistic without the install shit.

>>58410866
If it takes you more then an hour to install, you're retarded.

I can install Arch in five minutes

>>58410826
bout three fiddy

>>58410826
Assuming you do the 'standard' installation method and don't run into any hardware-related issues, from 10 minutes to 1 hour depending on your CPU and network speed.

>>58410891
Plus it's designed to break, every time you update anything, but has cool theme built in :^)

Just use the architect installer. Select what you want and be done in 10-20min.

Or just do it yourself in an hour, it's not that hard.

Ogre Penis here,

downloaded to iso, and this is going to be my fist time installing arch. I'll do it in a vm and I will post the time it took when I got it up and running.

>>58410826
I use the base-devel and some other packages, and that takes about 20 mins or so.

Is arch anywhere a method to install arch?I ask this a linux beginner

>>58411010
*A good method

>>58411010
I use it personally, quite good.

>>58410826
Around 20-30 minutes. If you're a beginner, maybe double that.

>>58411010
>>58411027
see >>58410991
or antergos if you are literally that lazy

Linux is never fully installed.

>Deploy the AMI to a AWS free trial account
>Server running in ~30 seconds
>Always used Arch this way and don't know what the installation meme is actually about

>>58411010
sir, please use english sir I don't understand sir

The time it takes for you to type these:

mkfs /dev/sdX
mount /dev/sdX /mnt
pacstrap /mnt base
genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab

+ the time it takes for your internet to download stuff

>>58410826
The problem is not the installation, the problem is to get it up to the level of functionality of Windows or even fucking Ubuntu.

Arch is just a meme.

>>58411113
You're a meme

>>58411076
POO

>>58411059
Not lazy just not confident and fear i may fuck up im still learning the jargon uses in the wiki.

>>58411076
Meant to say if archanywhere was a good way to install arch as a beginner or should i start elsewhere?

>>58411145
If you have to ask then just install Puppy Linux

>>58411176
I don't starting with the "hard stuff" just wanted to know the risks involved.

>>58410905
This. If it's your first time it should take you about an hour to follow the guide. Any longer than this and you should probably stick to Ubuntu for a while longer.

>>58410826
Plain install, about an hour. Getting everything up and running and full of all your favourite packages configured to perfection, all day.

Unless you do what I did, which is write a text file full of all the packages to install, how to configure them, commands to run and in what order. Then just an hour.

>>58410831
Bullshit.

>>58410831
This

Around 5 min to setup a DE depending on your internet connection.

>>58410891
5 minutes? Bullshit.

>>58410917
Bullshit.

ex-manjaro user here,

My internet connection isn't shit so it only takes two minutes or so to download the packages, and three minutes for the rest is no trouble at all

>>58411010
. . . maybe. But if you are a real beginner, I suggest Antergos instead.

Arch-Anywhere and Architect are both good for fast, easy Arch GNU/Linux installs, but both do require some prior GNU/Linux knowledge and experience.

Not a big fan of Manjaro. Antergos is closer to pure Arch GNU/Linux.

>>58411096
Bullshit.

>>58411526
See post 58411145.

>>58410826
It depends on how fast your internet is.
If you have a fast connection, it would take 15 minutes or less.

>>58410826
30 min

>>58410929
What? Arch has no theme built in

>>58411660
we were talking about manjaro, please, next time read the quoted post before you post a reply, thanks

>>58411614
Correction. See post 58411526, not 58411145. We regret the error.

>>58411096
What about the boot loader? That was the hardest part for me when I installed.

>>58410826
20m if you know what you're doing.

>Your new favorite Linux distribution awaits. Are you ready?

Am I ready, /g/ ?

About 30 minutes

>>58411801
are you ready to be disappointing?

Arch vs Manjaro?

>>58411761
if on UEFI copy the .efi file to your EFI partition
if on BIOS grub-install /dev/sda

30 min average, depending on DL speeds.

a lifetime.

>>58410826
well if you use something like cloudinit or other automation tools, I imagine it's pretty fast to install like anything else.

>>58410826
Literally less than 1 minute if you know what you're doing
functional install with DE/WM would probably take ~5min give or take download speeds and boot time.

>>58410826
It took me around 9 hours to figure how to install it

it took me 2 years of daily reading and studying and memoizing my brain was fried at the end i had arch but i lost my sanity and everything i had

now all i have is arch

"hi anon, nice to meet you, what's your name?"

"I have no name, i am nothing, all i represent is arch installation"

Wow the wiki tried to make that much more complicated then how you put it

without including the time to download, just installing the system takes about 5min
