Basically, install Windows as you normally would, but when asked for Time and Currency format, select English (World) instead of your country.
Then let the installer do its thing. Eventually, you will see a window with an ice cream cone on the floor with the words “Something went wrong” and the error message “OOBEREGION.” This cryptic message means that the “out of box experience” (OOBE) didn’t launch because it didn’t know which region to launch.
Click Skip, though, and Windows will install just fine. You won’t be prompted to buy Microsoft 365, you won’t be prompted to pay for a OneDrive subscription, and your Start menu won’t be cluttered with apps.
Everyone keeps telling me Linux is hard to install and use and then I find crap like this and I get confused. I don’t have to worry about any of this shit with Arch.
In fairness, I don’t have to worry about any of this with Windows.
So Arch works with every hardware imaginable without issues?
I haven’t had a single issue with anything I’ve installed Arch on in the last half decade. I use Debian on all my servers and haven’t had any issues there either. Bluetooth, wireless, display drivers with both nvidia and AMD.
