July 10 marked the first anniversary of me starting to use ASUS TUF Gaming A15 as my current personal computer, and by extension, switching to use Arch Linux!

After having installed Arch Linux on my main laptop with the archinstall script, and using Arch Linux for two months, I decided to try to install Arch Linux the hard way for the first time on my previous old laptop to learn what manually assembling a Linux system from scratch is like.

I made sure to read and follow Arch Wiki's installation guide, but there were certain steps like partitioning disks and installing a bootloader where I needed to search for additional guides outside the Arch Wiki to understand how to do them better.

It took me hours to figure it out, but it was quite the learning experience for sure.
