    I’ve used the command line on my Mac 8~9 times and sometimes on windows and that’s it.

    Then Arch probably shouldn’t be your starting point. If you’re really insistent, then you also need to be patient. You need to learn a lot, and will definitely need to read. It’s like not knowing how to drive and wanting to drive an F1 car. There’s knowledge and experience you need to have before getting behind the wheel, but if you’re okay with crashing a lot then go for it.

    Where are you stuck on your install?

      Yeah and that’s exactly what grinds my gears about the Linux crowd here. On one hand they’re in every thread talking about how easy it is and how everyone should make the switch regardless of skill. That is until something goes wrong and the response is ‘lol educate yourself’

        I would guess it’s booting to the installation media, be that a disc, thumb drive, or other mount point. If you can figure out how to get to a boot menu and have it skip that, it might get you in.
