Honestly you don't need any particular skills to install Arch. Just time and access to the instructions. It's a neat way to spend an afternoon once, but I just switched to Manjaro too on future installations,
- carlhjerpe 6y agoI'm one of those that when I fiddle with something I really wanna know what I'm doing too,so my arch installation would probably take weeks (and I'd learn a lot). Soon-ish™
- licebmi__at__ 6y agoIf you already know the basics, you won't find too much surprising stuff. That's actually the reason I like Arch, whenever I wanted to customize something, I would find the steps in other distros more esoteric and made with a lot of assumptions, in that regard Arch seems simpler to me. If you want to investigate what you're executing in your system, as opposed to find what fedora does under the hood during install, you might find Arch install is nice an simple.

- Foxboron 6y agoThat is sadly what you get with an non-commercial all-volunteer distribution. We only have so much time on our hands and Security Team members are productive members of the community holding several roles. More contributors are always needed and welcome.

- d_tr 6y agoManjaro Architect's installer is really neat btw.
- unixhero 6y ago+1 for Manjaro. I greatly enjoyed using that for a time on one of my tinkering systems.
