I don’t know beyond the fact that only Grub got installed and, apparently, nothing else. Upon starting the virtual machine, I was still offered to boot into the Arch installation environment. I have run archinstall again to make an installation without Grub, and am running an installation on a clone of that virtual machine where I have opted into using Grub

It seems like VirtualBox doesn't automatic removed the iso file from the boot options. Try change this configuration at the VirtualBox and select the boot to be at the virtual driver

Currently, I am not sure how I am supposed to login as root.

At the archinstall script you must've set the root password, right? At the SDDM login screen, you must press Ctrl+Alt+F3 to enter the TTY3 (a big whole full screen terminal) asking for a login. Type root, press enter and then it will ask for your password. Type the password you set in the archinstall script (note: in the terminal we do not have a visual feedback from the password field, but it's being written. Just trust the process) and press enter. Now you are logged in as root

Where do I input that command?

At the terminal. To access the terminal you must change to TTY3, login as root and run the command I told. To enter TTY3 you must press Ctrl+Alt+F3. To go back to the graphic interface you must go to TTY2, pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2

To which one? What is the format supposed to be for, for example, English, Putonghua, Norwegian, and Russian layouts?

Whatever layout you want. You can find a list with all the layouts running the command # localectl list-x11-keymap-layouts. I think us is english, no is Norwegian and ru is Russian. So the command would be # localectl set-x11-keymap us,no,ru

The problem is that it is initially not the US English one, while the password is in English.

Well, that's unfortunately. But try these things I told you

Another installation failed for no discernable reason despite no errors occurring as a result of archinstall.

What happened?

Edit: Are you familiar with the syntax of Linux commands? I've written # localectl set-x11-keymap us,no,ru but that means you must run the command localectl set-x11-keymap us,no,ru as root, okay? The dash symbol (#) means you're running the command as root, while the dollar symbol ($) means you run a command as non-privileged user, for example $ echo Hi you must run the command echo Hi as your normal user (not as root nor using sudo)

I did exactly the same thing yesterday and had the same issue. However I found the solution adding the keyboard layout to the X11 as well, with the command

# localectl set-x11-keymap br abnt2

You must change the "br abnt2" to your keyboard layout, however

Also, pay attention because there is a bug at the sddm login screen that doesn't show the correct keyboard layout until you start typing, so don't worry if at the beginning is "US". Just start typing your password and take a look to see if it changed to your keyboard layout

Edit: you may wanna enter TTY3 to make these changes. Just press Ctrl+Alt+F3 to enter TTY3 and after you're done press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to be back to the previous display. You may wanna also restart your computer

Fuck U.S.

That's because...

I'M A MICROSOFT EMPLOYEE IN DISGUISE!!!

Assume whatever you want. I don't care

You totally missed the point I was trying to say. And I'm not going to explain because of laziness.

I don't think the world is black or white. Of course Microsoft can make bad choices and prioritize profit, but Microsoft isn't a person or and entity. MS is an enterprise driven by people that work there.

Linux community or any other community can also make bad choices, afterall it's also people-driven and people are flawed.

I don't excuse MS for really bad choices, but also don't blame it. I just think that's better to see the world complex as it is, not by judging stuff as 'bad' or 'good'.

I know. That's why I'm using native Firefox version, which works flawlessly

Not only because of performance issues, but also because it's clunky sometimes. For example, I cannot use KeePassXC Browser extension on Flatpak Firefox cause this implementation is borked. However in native version works flawlessly

Firefox is one of the few exceptions I suggest always use native version

Fedora comes with Gnome, so it has Gnome Software Center installed by default. Mostly of packages from Fedora is also Flatpaks from Red Hat's server (not Flathub). They also has Flathub enabled by default

About RPM, I don't know if Gnome Software Center is able to handle it, cause I don't use Fedora myself. But at least you may try and see

So you're calling for Fedora

Install it from your Software Center. It's really easy and need no command at all.

I always use Flatpak over AUR.

AUR is my last resort

Bombs are meant to make people happy. Unfortunately these bombs had a production malfunction that made it explode, causing sadness instead.

Silly Israel! Next time try checking if bombs are correctly functioning to give happy and love!

Neither. I use a rolling release distro.

But if I have to use release based distros, I probably would clean install.

Isn't it easier if you clean install instead of upgrade?

That's the main issue that make me dislike apt and like pacman so much. Apt always (with me) mess the system when upgrading from a version to another.

Once you install Arch with the archinstall script and set everything, you'll be fine.

Arch is as hard as you make it be. I run Arch with Gnome using mostly flatpaks and I the only maintenance I have to do with my pc is run sudo pacman -Syyu once a day to keep everything up-to-date.

Of course you can make it be as hard as trying to swimming in lava, but it's your choice to make like that.

That's just a lie
