My favorite part of Arch is reinstalling it over and over again. That first successful boot after the install gives too much dopamine.

My favorite part of Arch is that my install from 5 years ago still works perfectly and I didn't have to do any major version upgrade that breaks everything.

Just had to reinstall arch 3 times yesterday, since the installation script fucked up the partitioning.

Reinstall nr1(manually, since the script didn't work): I forgot to add users and couldn't log into my machine Reinstall nr2(manually): my mirror lists was so fucked up that I couldn't install or update packages(there also were some missing databases) Reinstall nr3(script) : finally everything worked.

Don’t use the script. Ezpz problem solved

Agreed. I've been installing it manually since 2012, never had an issue I couldn't quickly fix. I attempted to use the installer about 6 months ago and couldn't get past the disk partitioning step because it wouldn't allow me to do the things I needed to do, then I think it crashed.

What's the point of installing Arch if you don't do it manually
