If you can't install arch, you definitely can't install gentoo.

>>59411017
Why would you install arch anyway? They are clearly stating that they don't give a flying fuck about user base but developer convenience. Debian is much more sane and democratic.

>>59411112
Delet this

>>59411112
Debian is like an old fucking creaky horse shit chair. Arch is not unnecessarily bloated and resource heavy.

>>59411017
>installing arch

>>59411535
>arch is not unnecessarily bloated and resource heavy
>this is what your average arch baby believes
you better install Gentoo now

>>59412155
I like a binary distribution, but I'll give it a whirl.

>>59411017

Install arch using Antergos.

>>59411112
those numbers... so close...

>>59412185
Except if you're running a pentium 2, there's no reason whatsover to not use a source-based distro

what step did you fail on op?

>>59412217
How stable is your system?

>>59411017
Are you installing arch dual boot with windows?
If so you can run into some difficulties.

>>59412197
Why?
The whole idea of arch is to learn more about linux/gnu.

>>59412217
Never mind my question here>>59412242. It's as stable as you make it after reading further. There's a stable branch you are able to activate.

>>59411017
Stop installing memes.

>>59412242
The only issues I've had in 2 years were a libncurses dependency conflict when 6.0 came out and a slight fuckup due to my forcingly deleting an overlay
Other than that I've never had a single problem, let alone a "stability" one

>>59411017
Don't worry. You're just unworthy!

>>59412300
Thank you for the explanation. I'll begin the task of installing it now.

>>59412318
That's the way, kouhai-kun

>>59412242
>How stable is your system?
Not op but what do you mean???

>>59411017
Try Antergos / Manjaro

>>59412217
compiling qt takes like 4-6 hours on a decent cpu.

>>59412332
I wanted to know if they enable stable versus unstable, experience breakage, et cetera.

>>59412422
Lie

>can't even copy and paste commands
Please don't even post here again

>>59411017
friend, just try installing it with wiki, try to see where exactly you failed and try to understand why it happened and how to do it correctly. thats how you learn it, failling over and over, preferably in a VM. first time I tried arch, couldn't change locale, or keymap, or langague, then couldn't go pass partitionig, then couldn't install grub, then couldn't install xfce. when I was managing to do a clean install without ffucking shit up, I finally actually installed it on my desktop and learnt a lot with it. next I want to try gentoo, and like anon said, if you can't install arch, you definitely can't install gentoo

>>59411017
>Should I just get Gentoo?
Definetly not. Try user-friendly distro like OpenSUSE, Fedora or ROSA/CentOS if you want stability and has old hardware.

>>59411017
>Failed.
try again. you're supposed to analyze and understand your mistakes and learn from it. monkey see, monkey do is not the correct approach here.

>>59411017
use AUI for basic install + maybe a DE

>>59411112
>>59411112
What makes you say that? I know they recently fucked their documentation but what other cunty things did they do?

>>59415408
Naturally, considering the number of Arch developers compared to Debian

I actually just installed arch in a vm, but I only gave it 2gbs of space and can't use it for anything

>>59415504
So, you are a moron. We already figured that out by the fact you are posting on /g/. What of it?

>>59411535
>Arch is not unnecessarily bloated and resource heavy.
even archs head-neckbeard said that debian is less bloated than arch

>>59412217
>pentium 2
building gentoo from stage one on a p4 or athlon xp took a whole fucking day

>>59412270
thats lfs you retard

>>59415408
>https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2015-July/039443.html
Wow, just wow.
Reminder that Red Hat most likely bribed Arch devs.

You made the sentence "That's Ifs, you retard." which is incorrect. Nice try. That is not vocative case.

>>59411017
"Failed" isn't an answer. If you don't even know what went wrong, you definitely shouldn't be installing arch.

That one hurt. A lot.
Arch has become a distro made up of degenerated maintainers and developers out of touch with technical reality.

How can you fail it has an installer since like 2011.

>>59417541
Because he is retarded.

>>59416640
What makes you say that?

t. out of the loop

>tfw you can't figure out whether to use BIOS or UEFI because your "setup" menu mentions both interchangeably
>tfw you fuck up your partitions endlessly because of this
>tfw you install grub wrong and have to redo it all
>tfw working with X while using nvidia
>tfw getting anything visual at all to work with a nvidia card

It's worse on Gentoo when you find out you forgot a single setting on your kernel (because nvidia), and have to recompile your kernel and remember every single thing you have to update because of that (initramfs, grub-mkconfig, certain modules, etc.)
