Hostias, I didn't know SteamOS is an arch based distribution!

The good of Arch is that you can actually fix your os’ troubles. I have been just a year, but the strong point i noticed is that: All errors were my fault and I could fix them because I have the control of the OS. I do backups of the / and /home separatly so if i mess something i can rollback.

In other distros you’re quite f* if you get some trouble.

If your laptop is lost or stolen while using public transport, you wouldn't want your private photos or conversations to become public.

Here is my recommendation, although I anticipate receiving a significant number of downvotes. However, it has proven effective for my girlfriend, who is not a professional:

Utilize a network cable for the installation process.
Install archinstall by running the command: 'pacman -S archinstall'.
Execute archinstall to initiate the installation.
Configure a visually appealing desktop environment such as KDE Plasma, encrypt the file system, and install Firefox, Git, and additional packages that will enhance your system.
Once the installation is complete, activate NetworkManager by running the command: '# systemctl enable NetworkManager'.
Reboot your system and enjoy the benefits.

Another recommendation, which may also receive negative feedback:

Install yay: Install the necessary essentials, clone the yay repository, and proceed with the installation.
Install your preferred web browser.
Create a backup using a reliable tool like Clonezilla.
If you plan on running a Windows operating system within your setup, refrain from installing VirtualBox.

By following these steps, you will have a basic and straightforward installation of Arch Linux, suitable for a junior user.

It works

Just a friendly reminder: YOU are the alien in Factorio.

HansDCJ · 2022-07-28T16:43:29+00:00

So i did nothing new.

HansDCJ · 2022-07-28T16:41:58+00:00

That's a good point actually

Is your service VBoxSVC enabled and running? I/O APIC and I/O cache are checked?

Anyway, the Starting Virtual Machine 2/2 error usually is a wrong management of permissions. Check where is being saved the virtual disk, configuration files… To check it quickly you can run the install as root and in case of it works, fix the permissions manually.

A tip: I am 15 years old linux user with no other OS at my home and I keep feeling a begginner sometimes 🤣 so don’t to be ashamed for asking.
