    I’ll respond when I’m done doing it. I plan on firing up my 15+ year laptop and install it the Arch way for the hell of it.

      Forgot to update…so I was able to get it install with the archinstall script with no issue. Installing it the Arch way, by using the docs, went super well until I went to install the boot loader. I saw no errors when going by all the steps prior to the boot loader install so I’m guessing I was installing grub incorrectly, or maybe something I’m not aware of. I’ll try again soon and respond with the fix, when I get it installed that is, in case you run into the same issue.
