Wi-Fi drivers are notoriously complicated on Linux in general, though things have been improving. But yeah if ‘iwctl device list’ comes up empty when you plan to use Wi-Fi to install Arch, especially if Ethernet isn’t a viable temporary alternative because your device doesn’t have an Ethernet port, you’re in for a tough time.
I usually use my phones LTE (tethered connection via USB) when wifi doesn’t work during the install.
Oh yeah that’s a great alternate option too if your mobile plan includes tethering. I’ve successfully used both Android and iOS tethering in the past and it was pretty seemless each time.
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it…
that’s because i run manjaro on my main machine, all the benefits of arch + simple intsall
