Meh, this looks like a YMMV kinda situation. I never had to "tinker" with anything since I installed Arch on the machine on which I'm typing this, almost four years ago.
Last week I reinstalled Windows on my work machine because the TPM was reset because I opened the case and all the MS account thingies got borked beyond repair.
Now there are a bunch of borken things. Like icons randomly disappearing in the taskbar (the button is still there and functional, but no icon). And every other time I boot it, something messes up the input language settings. It gets set to US English, although that layout doesn't show up in the enabled languages in the settings app. I have to add it and remove it to unbreak this.
And then there's my gaming box, which worked OK for a few months, but now something happened with the BitLocker screen and there's no more text, just the blue screen. If I type in my pin, it actually works.
- massysett 2y agoInstalling Arch is one big tinker session. The install instructions have “To verify the boot mode, check the UEFI bitness” as one of the first steps.
- jcelerier 2y agoThere's a thousand of graphical frontend installer for Arch and Arch-derivatives, like cachyOS, endeavour, etc. Hell, it even has an archinstall script nowadays. I installed it a couple times by hand for fun but if you want a rolling-release Linux distro that uses pacman there are many ways as easy as Ubuntu
