- thanato0s 6y agoI'm using Arch Linux for 6 years and I've my own install scripts I describe in the book. I didn't have to change them very often. Even if I love the Arch Wiki, the problem is: it's not tailored for beginners. Now, you could say that Arch Linux is NOT for beginners, but I think everybody should make their own mind. I think people are smart, even if they're beginners. But you're right, sometimes the install change; that's why every update of the book will be free. I'll try to keep up with Arch Linux last updates.
- diehunde 6y agoAgreed. But the thing is: What’s a beginner ? I’m a software engineer, been using Linux ( Ubuntu, Fedora) for almost 10 years and when I tried installing arch following the docs I still ran into issues I couldn’t solve or instructions I wasn’t sure about.
