Modern user-friendly distros allow a simple graphical install from liveUSB and manage everything, including GRUB configuration, for you. You just select drive, click “install”, reboot and see both Linux and Windows available.
I recently installed windows 11. I needed to search the internet for fixing the update system, use cmd and copying lines of code that i don’t understand.

Why would average user install Arch?

And then Windows yoinks your bootloader back and your Linux boot option poofs…
More of a Windows issue than anything, but still annoying af.
It is annoying. You can avoid by installing Linux on a different hard drive. Obviously not always an optiion but maybe.
Ideally, you should install Linux on a separate physical drive, then this never happens.
But yes, not applicable for everyone. In any case, this can be trivially fixed if you went through this once before.
I had it on a separate drive and this happened to me some how. Perhaps it was my own fuck up, it was a while ago.
Just resulted in me nuking Windows anyhow, and it’s been fine ever since 🤷♀️
Maybe the BIOS/UEFI prioritized wrong drive? Or something gone wrong with GRUB.
Anyhow, congrats on ditching this shithole altogether!

What the hell is “linux certified” hardware? Why would an average user install arch? Is this a troll post? Are you a real person?

Dude Arch Linux is not particularly for beginners. Try Linux Mint, it’s slogan is literally “It just works” and is designed with this tenet in mind.
