If you’re installing Ubuntu or Manjaro, it’s honestly easier than windows. The options make more sense, and you get much more useful info on your drives. With windows, I have to identify them by capacity, which has led to me installing on the wrong drive before. And live CD installs even allow you to look something up for help right there.
Arch is a totally different story though. No way I would have started using Linux if that was my introduction to it.
What is your issue with installation exactly? I must have done 200+ installs of 2 dozen distros (not you Arch) and its always been smooth and easy.
And quick. Like, the whole process only takes 15 minutes for most distros
Yep. I installed Linux on my desktop. Worked great until I let it go to sleep, and it refused to connect back to my monitor. Then when I restarted it, it wouldn’t get past some terminal “can’t find video mode” screen or some shit
I’m going to have to spend a couple hours at least today after work to sort it out.
Maybe I can help you out. What distro are you using. Did you boot off usb and then install? How did you partition your SSD? Are you able to open a shell prompt?
Accurate meme, because the first 10-15 minutes of installing Linux will make you cry, but it picks up from there.

I had a similar issue once and the problem was low storage space. Maybe you could try deleting some stuff?
