I've had the same Arch installation between four laptops over 12 years. Boot from a USB Linux distro and enter command line. Partition the new laptop, setup disk encryption, rsync the file system via USB external enclosure, modify the ftab, crypttab, and refind.conf, reboot. Don't have to re-install any software or re-setup and sync any accounts.
This is the step-by-step process I followed to install Arch Linux on my laptop with the following features: - Wayland - Plasma 6 - Plymouth - PipeWire - LVM on LUKS - Unified Kernel Image - TPM PIN unlock - Secure Boot Let me know what you think!
These types of posts are often more harfmul than helpful. ArchLinux already has proper installation instructions and those who cannot follow them aren't recommend to run it. The main installation issues the ArchLinux forum sees is from people following outdated third party installation guides.
ArchWiki: your source for Arch Linux documentation on the web. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Main_page
Not just Arch documentation. It often has general use information, too, applicable to other distros and Unixes.

Fedora has worked flawlessly for me.
After years on Ubuntu, then Arch I also just recently discovered Fedora as a well polished alternative. I do love the Arch community. But I feel less motivation to tinker nowdays and Fedora was a pretty nice works out of the box experience so far.

Isn't there a GUI installer for Arch. I am sure I am capable of installing it but I don't feel the need to get that involved.
What's everybody's favorite distribution on the Frame.Work 13? Getting it next week, and toying around with Arch/Debian/Ubuntu/Suse/NixOS/etc in VMs while waiting for it. I think I'll have to throw a coin (or just take Debian).

Fedora was almost required on AMD framework for a while, because hardware was brand new and Debians were too old. Now with Mint updated, I'd recommend take Fedora or Mint and Cinnamon. Beware, I just realized my AMD does not support S3 sleep. Too late to return.

The post by itself is not harmful, since it can be that the person posted it for their own blog because they like to write for themselves. Someone now finding it and using it for their own benefit/loss, that's a problem.
I believe you meant.
