It's not that complex if you know how, and the wiki will tell you how, but it is something you have to do from the terminal because Arch does not have a default GUI. Also, there is a bunch of stuff you need to install/setup/configure before you get to installing the GUI. The easier distributions usually have a GUI installer that just let you pick these options (most of which you'll probably leave at default), but Arch doesn't have an installer, GUI or otherwise, so you have to run many commands on the terminal before you get access to a GUI browser you can use to copy-paste stuff from the wiki.

First time I installed Arch I didn't have a smartphone and I only had one laptop at my disposal, so I had to print the installation guide from the wiki on physical paper, otherwise I wouldn't have any access to it when installing Arch.

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
