+welcome to my installer thing
+=============================
+
+have you ever wanted to nuke everything and start over on your
+computer? i certainly have. this program allows me to destroy
+operating system installations with new ones with
+unprecedented efficency.
+
+since i'm writing this readme before i actually write any
+code, the documentation for future me is most certainly
+incomplete. good luck future me, i guess.
+
+also, as an aside: this project is designed for installing
+arch linux on my Thinkpad x220. you probably shouldn't be
+expecting that this will work with your use case, but if you
+are, prepare to be disappointed.
+
+this software identifies as being part of the trivial
+technology movement. should you wish to learn more, visit
+gemini://inixj-ix.luxe/wiki/trivial-technology--landing/.
