After using Windows for over 20 years, I took the plunge into the world of Linux by switching to Arch Linux! What drove me to make this leap? The stunning customizations I saw on Reddit’s r/unixporn and the opportunity to impress on a date with a classic “I use Arch, btw” line!
I have wanted to try out Arch Linux for a very long time. And now with archinstall script the entry barrier has been lowered quite a lot. So here is my experience of replacing Windows 11 with Arch Linux, and using it for couple of weeks. I document my entire journey of installing Arch Linux, from downloading the ISO to setting up my system. I’ll share my struggles with partitioning and testing out key functionalities like video recording, audio editing, coding, and gaming.
If you’re curious about Arch Linux or just love a good tech transformation story, this video is for you! Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share your thoughts in the comments below!

If you are gaming under Steam: from my understanding, you shouldn't have to mess with Bottles at all and Steam basically handles the Wine stuff for you (I think 🤔). If you turn on "Compatability Mode" in a Steam game's settings, it should give you the option to use Proton (Steam's custom version of Wine). Apologies if this isn't completely correct, I don't use Steam much.
its only worth on desktops while on laptops battery life and other peripheral devices really sucks
Arch is just a joke since ARCHINSTALL came lol
dont use flatpak for wine please
the reason it took an hour was flatpak
I find proprietary operating systems unusable after using Linux for a year
You are awesome I have followed you
Hey how is your OLED display working with arch? Fellow Vivobook OLED user here
U USE WINDOWS 7?!
Pacman is the built in package manager with arch. Arch has the AUR, arch user repository where users can post their own stuff, however, it's not checked by mods and is usually checked by random users so it's much less safe. if a package if liked enough by users it can actually land in the official repo of arch, pacman. Yay is an aur installer which just makes installing from there easier.
One thing ive noticed about arch linux: sure it can take some time to set up some things but then they are set up and you know how to do them next time. When I'm finished setting up the baseline I can basically do anything. Also It's then easier to use and troubleshoot other distros
2:00 I got these strange errors when I've set the pacman Mirrors to German only, when I've also set up some others it worked. Really strange, have reproduced this on a lenovo laptop and my main PC
If you are going to have Steam installed anyways you might want to try adding the image editing program as a "Non-Steam Game", and enable Proton for it.
Great video! Love the accent too
The hardest thing to me that make my self cannot give up Windows is Microsoft 365. I cant live without Excel Power Query, no other office apps on Linux would perform the same way, as my work mainly on Microsoft 365 ecosystem with other coworker with OneDrive. Do you have work around this on Linux? Sure I can live with Gimp, Darktable, Shotcut… I live with those software since 4 years ago, but I cant find Excel Power Query alternatives. Please help, I'm ready to full jump on Linux if there is a work around in Excel Power Query
Welcome to Gentoo master race
I put Arch on my laptop, setup was somewhat involved, post-install, but nothing too hard and the wiki held my hand, with instructions verified by users, for virtually every single step of the process to get my specific hardware fully working. The only thing I haven't got fixed is my fingerprint reader, but I'm not overly bothered about that rn.
that's very good, you are contributing to a world of more linux users. The more people use free open-source software, the more people will develop FOS applications.
najmanje sam ocekivo da hrvat napravi video o arch linuxu al eto i to sam dozivio
You could just install bottles from software manager, it's even recommended to install from it.
Nice video though!
arch is NOT the hardest
infact its one of the easiest ones
try nixos or lfs, ill see whats "hardest"
hi alen try gimp for editing photo
Stop using vscode official Microsoft spyware, get vscodium
The reason you probably didn't have internet on hyprland is because you may not have had networkmanager enabled, which takes care of wifi and ethernet automatically. To enable it, you can just run: sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager
I use hyprland on arch btw
Most sane and objective review of Arch ever made
btw, we all use arch
Oh yeah, i use arch btw. No big deal. 🤣
7:28 in KDE it will automatically take care of networking but in Hyprland you have to do it manually with iwctl command or there is a gui for networkmanager so check it out…
welcome to the linux community, i use arch without archinstall btw
arch isnt really hard at all if you just want to use gnome desktop.. there are some functions in linux that u take for granted in windows that just are a pain to get going like bluetooth, or screensaver and sleep functionality. but apart from that its great
Wow, I get it that we must move the F away from the toxic Windows. But directly to.. Arch?? Arch is a pain in the….. from all points of view. Surely it must have its advantages, but friendliness isn't one of them.
every kde distro has very much customization but not every kde distro is stable for example Fedora kde is horrible sure i didn't test a lot of distros but the experience with Fedora kde wasn't good at all for me so i am currently using Kubuntu and like it so far
Windows is good but Linux is best 🙂
I use fedora
I use Cashy OS and it works perfectly
Linux from Scratch is the hardest distro. It only exists as a PDF file, lmao. Have fun Buckaroo
Why is everyone using Rufus? Ventoy….please, just do the "cook" ONCE and you just throw iso's onto that USB and you get a choice of which iso you wanna use for install…
image editig use gimp (alternative phtoshop), inkscape (alternative inkscape)
Learning so much from all of you here in the comment section.
Linux has a nice community, that's for sure.
Thank you 🤗❤
You should use nmcli for wlan
With your fucking accent, I will do opposite what you do.
is it safe to show your windows activation key?
You can try other Arch type Distros like Endevour os, Cachyos or Garuda.
Me and family use Mint both versions (LMDE) and at my working laptop KDE Plasma OS3!
Have used Linux since august 2023 after been a Microsoft user from 1982 and also a MS Beta tester! 40 years of problems are finally over 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 My support are only ChatGPT
Regardless of outcome, it's very based of you to dare and try new things like this 👍🏻
steam have integrated proton. You just need to enable steam play (or sth) in settings. Then most windows games will work even without any tinkering
bro finally can say "i use arch btw"
Manjaro is cool, I used it for about a year then switched back to some Ubuntu based OSs, currently using Kubuntu because of KDE Plasma
2:07 kde plasma!!!!!!
Try to install affinity photo in virtual machine on windows. Then copy installed program to wine/bottles and try to run. I dont know if it will work.
