Human friendly way to install Arch Linux — antergos
1 min readApr 17, 2019
Arch Anyware used to be a good option, but it was dead: https://www.linux.com/learn/intro-to-linux/2018/2/arch-anywhere-dead-long-live-anarchy-linux
Then, its successor ‘anarcy linux’, whose website is down for a few month. Seems nobody is looking into it yet.
Now, there is another one https://antergos.com/, which provides a human-friendly way to install ArchLinux.
Pretty decent GUI installer. Just follow the GUI step by step, you should not have any major issues.
Two minor issues I encountered so far:
- The Chinese fonts package of the installer seems not working very well, not a big deal, go with English, then, you can install the fonts package later once the installation is done
- I chose Mate Desktop, then the application menu (the one like the Start Menu in Windows) didn’t show up in the left-bottom of the task bar. But not a big deal to me either, many things can be done via cmd.
