I’m well known for borking my arch installations, not long ago I was struggling with Grub because apparently I have terrible reading comprehension and kept creating a boot partition with boot flags (EFI) and then installing Grub for my BIOS system… Not that I didn’t know it was BIOS, I didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to flag the partition as bootable.
My head still hurts from the constant bashing against the keyboard and the facepalm upon realizing my stupidity.
I still manually partition my system because I’m a control freak. Fortunately I haven’t had to look at partition tables for a long time now.
Archinstall rocks, though installing Arch manually at least once or twice first is an incredibly valuable educational experience. I wouldn’t have known what an fstab file was, and I realized just how important that was when I moved some data from a partition into another with dd. I manually reconfigured the fstab and the dopamine jolt I got from successfully doing that is unforgettable (of course, after 2 hours of scrambling on the internet because I borked something again)
