    How user friendly is the installation process? I’ve never tried, so I don’t know.

I’m more knowledgeable and patient these days, so I may be able to work with arch.

      You can use archinstall and it is dummy simple. Just have another computer or phone around to look things up and go down the menu like a checklist. My admittedly limited arch experience has so far been “run archinstall, use pacman to install tools as I run into things I’d like to have”. I have a Framework 16 with the built in GPU, I imagine some hardware complicates this process but just look stuff up it’s all out there unless you’re on some really wild hardware. Even without archinstall you can follow the arch wiki and you’re basically replicating what the tool does but using the wiki as your checklist and needing to type more

        To be fair, doesn’t framework work to ensure Linux driver compatibility? Must make things easier (plus they look dope)
