If not, then I&#8217;d recommend giving installing Arch Linux without tools a try. The process is mostly manual, meaning you have to build your user accounts, time settings, and system partitions by hand. It teaches you a lot about how operating systems work, but it definitely makes you work for your OS.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, for people who&#8217;d rather skip that, there&#8217;s Archinstall. It comes with Arch Linux and makes setting up the distro a lot easier than going through the command line. If you&#8217;re interested, you&#8217;ll be pleased to know that Archinstall just released version 4.0, and it aims to make the process even less painful than it normally is.<\/p>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\">Related<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \">\n<p>\t\t\tIt seems scary, but Arch is my favorite Linux distro coming from Windows<\/p>\n<\/h5>\n<p>                 &#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xda-developers.com\/archinstall-40-finally-makes-installing-arch-linux-bearable\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Archinstall 4.0 finally makes installing Arch Linux bearable for normal people https:\/\/www.xda-developers.com\/archinstall-40-finally-makes-installing-arch-linux-bearable\/ Publish Date: 2026-03-31&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":229476,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/static0.xdaimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/wm\/2025\/03\/framework-linux-amd-laptop-hyprland-arch-linux-neofetch-angle.jpg?w=1600&h=900&fit=crop","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[99,71],"class_list":["post-229475","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-linux","tag-arch-linux","tag-linux"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229475"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=229475"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229475\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":229477,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229475\/revisions\/229477"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/229476"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=229475"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=229475"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=229475"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
