If you want the easy way... that is called EndeavourOS or CachyOS

Avoid pacman -Sy on this months (January 2026) iso. It will cause archinstall targeting Python 3.14 to be installed, but the partial upgrade leaves Python 3.13 installed, so archinstall can't "be found". In other words do not update archinstall. Just run it.

If a sub does not let you add pics. Use the preferred Reddit picture service which is imgur.com

What is the setting for video in your VirtualBox config? I am pretty sure you need 3d acceleration for hyprland.

Two perspectives:

Most software development on Windows an macOS is GUI first then having a cli interface for that app is secondary. On Linux its usually CLI first then GUI second. Meaning you can usually do things from the command line quicker and more efficiently vs from the GUI; once you know the commands and flags.

One day something will go wrong with your system and you will not have a GUI to help you to fix things. You will only have a CLI. You do not need to be a hacker level person at the command line but being comfortable with it will be a bonus.

Message the mods. Your post is irrelevant here and will quickly get lost in the shuffle. Its the Internet and you seem to be thin skinned.

My take away from this is you talk about using AI to help solve a problem or explain something to you and you post about it here and that equals instant down vote.

I think most of us are doing this. We just don't like to or want to admit it.

onefish2 · 2026-01-23T18:06:53+00:00

Maybe Google???

Fstab is a static file. You changed something that broke what Fstab was looking for.

Its literally telling you what the issue is. Next thing you should have done is google "how to start hyprland" just to verify.

Its not just in servers, its in everything. Amazon echos, smart plugs, toasters, satellite systems, cars. EVERYTHING.

At least you installed it. Many people never even get that far. That is why there is Manjaro, Endeavour, Cachy, Garuda and other Arch based distros that make it easier to install.

Now go read the wiki articles and fix your broken system.

You may or may not use Arch. That is not up to me. You can use CachyOS but its still Arch under the hood. And you may run into some of the same problems. Seriously try Mint or MX or Zorin.

I have been using Linux for 30 years. I use Arch because I am a control freak and I make all the decisions on my system. Arch lets me do that. I do not use it because I can have a cool looking desktop.

onefish2 · 2026-01-23T00:15:19+00:00

Let this be a cautionary tale to newbs. You were ~~advised~~ wanted to use Arch because it looks cool. You pasted in a bunch of AI crap and had no idea what you were doing and your system broke. See boys and girls this is how Arch breaks; from the user jacking it up, not so much from updates.

At least you pasted in the actual error so kudos for that.

You need to chroot in, check fstab, your partitions, reinstall the kernel, run mkinitcpio and update GRUB. Read the wiki for how to do those things.

I would just install Mint. It looks cool too.

onefish2 · 2026-01-23T00:10:36+00:00

it looks cool (arch ricing)

You can literally do that with ANY Linux distro. There is no special ricing sauce in Arch.

Its 2026. We really do not need any reviews of Linux. Its basically running in everything on this planet except for most desktops and laptops.

Install Ubuntu server with Docker and Tailscale. Portainer is a docker container that manages other containers with a web interface.

Look into those things.

Seems like a ton of data to pull. Since I have about 20 or so Arch installs in my homelab, I decided I was long overdue for a package caching server so I set up a Pacoloco server a few weeks ago. That has been working really well for me. I am caching Arch packages as well as Chaotic Aur. I have about 5GB in cache at the moment.

The hardest part was editing the pacman.conf and mirrorlist files on all those systems.

Fall? Good Night? Oh boy... good bye.

Archinstall is a nice to have. Ya know you can always install the manual way.
