Hey everyone! I've been using Garuda Linux for the past two years, and it was surprisingly simple to install—just a few clicks and I was up and running. I've heard that installing Arch Linux can be quite challenging, but I'm considering setting it up alongside my current system for testing purposes. I want to use it as a playground where I can experiment with Arch-related stuff. I'm comfortable using the terminal since I work in development. Do you have any recommendations on how to proceed? Also, I'm a bit concerned about the safety of my data during this process—could I end up formatting my entire disk?

Definitely check out tools like virt-manager to set up Arch in a VM. It's a great way to get familiar with the system without any risk to your current setup. Just make sure to back up regularly as a precaution!
I recommend looking into how to boot from the Arch ISO and using the archinstall command. But honestly, for a worry-free experience, a VM is your best bet. And remember—always back up your data before making major changes!
It sounds like a virtual machine (VM) would be perfect for you! It’s the safest way to try things out without risking your main installation. You can run Arch in a VM and test to your heart's content.
