Had to install Arch recently because it would help pad word count. Normally I wouldn't pick it because it takes so long to install for an experience that doesn't feel different enough to warrant that time. But I had to for uni so I thought people here might appreciate my attempt at making a pretty desktop. If anyone has tips with Gnome on here feel free to fire away aswell.
If you don't want to go through the regular install, why not to just use
archinstallor EndeavourOS?I guess learning may be part of the objective.
frankly I'd probably use one of those easy options in a new install.
But i'm personally glad to have gone through the process manually at least a couple of times on a few different systems, just to learn about various bits and pieces that may or may not be needed in different circumstances.
So yeah give that to students as a learning task - more useful than lots of the crap i was told to read.
I'd be surprised if it was a pre-requisite to do other coursework though
