     @CosmicTortoise The fragmented penguin is linux from scratch, ie. self inflicted hell. The others with it are arch, which is built however you want, and kali, which is only recommended for testing shit.
     
     The other side is fedora, debian, and ubuntu, normal desktop environments and all their offshoots like mint and popOS.
     
     Basically don't use anything under no if you actually want a working computer without having to dump a week into setup.

     @Kyonko802 @CosmicTortoise I don't think Arch is as big of a boogieman as people make it out to be after having run it for almost a year. I'm more surprised we don't have gentoo in this image.

     @Spooke @CosmicTortoise It's not a boogie man, but if you just want to install your OS, browse the web, and play games without having to wait, it's not the option for you.

     @Kyonko802 @CosmicTortoise @Spooke if you want "just" anything you shouldn't be using linux

     @DarkMahesvara @CosmicTortoise eeeehhhhhhhh depends on what you wanna hook up to it and how much shit you have, and I was exaggerating.
     
     But if you're getting into arch you should be looking into stuff that you won't have to fuck with as far as hardware goes. There's plenty of plug and play linux shit.

     timedatectl
     fdisk /dev/the_disk_to_be_partitioned
     mkfs.ext4 /dev/root_partition
     mkfs.fat -F 32 /dev/efi_system_partition
     mount /dev/root_partition /mnt
     mount --mkdir /dev/efi_system_partition /mnt/boot
     pacstrap -K /mnt base linux linux-firmware
     genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
     arch-chroot /mnt
     ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Region/City /etc/localtime
     hwclock --systohc
     locale-gen
     mkinitcpio -P
     passwd
     pacman -S plasma-meta pipewire [etc]
     reboot
     
     i don't think the entire archwiki has enough content to require a whole week...
