maybe? I think knowing how to reinstall your boot loader at least is very important though, for the inevitable case of having to deal with a windows dual boot computer somewhere

yes I know archinstall, no I don't think it should be how someone installs arch for the first time.

the manual install for arch is pretty simple if you just read the wiki and you learn so much troubleshooting information from it. if someone is trying arch they should definitely go through the manual process

plain debian maybe? it's a bit more manual but not to the extent of arch, and the netinstaller is really nice

if you are motivated to learn Linux I really can't recommend trying something basic like debian, arch, alpine etc enough

ah yeah, that's fair.

i've found the fw13 keyboard and the thinkpad xx30 keyboards are pretty good, but even the xx30 ones are extremely dependent on the age and manufacturer, so it's basically just luck at this point

how do you find the keyboard? I've tried typing on a few macbooks but my fingers could never get used to it

i think it does global syncing by default

old T (until t440p) you could upgrade the cpu as well, and they are dirt cheap on aliexpress

don't know if a refurbished thinkpad is good if you're on a budget, by the time you realise you might have a couple dozen of them on your desk all running linux

just choose something that's been around for a while, e.g. debian, opensuse, fedora, etc

iirc there's instructions on completing the anubis challenge manually

everytime you copy paste a terminal command, try see if you can understand what it's doing with:

$ tldr mycommand (you need tealdeer installed)

and

$ mycommand --help

imo this is way more concise and beginner friendly than reading man pages

ig it's a counterpart to recaptcha which is in the left panel

math is always stronger than marketing

why do you want it to be arch based in particular? the entire point of an arch based distro is that you're rawdogging it.

if you want something simple, use something Ubuntu/debian based. if you want something more complex, just try arch, it's not that hard

nitter.net and stuff are back btw

do two wrongs make a right?

so do they not have the same updates on fwupd/efi updaters?

try arch with something comfortable like kde, you seem like you're at the perfect skill level for trying it out

that time i accidentally ran sudo rm -fr /*
