    I’m genuinely curious as an Arch user. Does gentoo not come with fdisk?

      As a Gentoo user who has used Arch in the past, I have no clue what problems this commenter could have run into because paritioning the drives is exactly the same for both distributions… if they were able to figure it out for Arch, then they can do it for Gentoo

        Or you know, gparted, arch bootable, Windows Drive Management, Ubuntu…

        I mean out of all the things I’d THINK you’d have trouble in, partitioning and formatting is…. not one of them.

      Yes it does. And while time-consuming it’s actually not too bad if you just follow the guide and don’t just skim through it.

        There are certain parts of the guide where i really wish it went into more detail.

        Last time i installed Gentoo i had the Arch wiki open alongside the guide to help translate

          Yeah to be fair it does make some assumptions about you knowing how to do something or know what you want.

        Ma-ma-manual?

        I thought there were only automatics nowadays!

        No wonder Linux is so hard
