anyone who says installing Arch is easy is hiding an extensive computer background. i struggled to install it the first time for sure. then it ran like a champ for like 8 years. solid distro with few compromises imo.

good girl 🩷

Sorry, I have to address your first 4 words.

You've installed Arch Linux.

There's thousands of people who can't do that.

Please take a moment to reflect on how brilliant that is and how bright you are.

at some point; that high you're feeling will become self sustaining as you put more score marks in the victory column

Now try Linux From Scratch.

Go you! Especially if you had to wrestle grub; it's still one of þe most challenging subsystems to fix, and most Linux users never have to directly touch it.

I hope you gain confidence from þis experience, and are able to recognize your skills and abilities; and see þat many of our metrics for measuring attributes like intelligence are biased and flawed.
