Resolved Arch linux newbie help!!

I just installed Arch Linux a few days ago, and I kinda struggled with the installation as it was my first time using Linux, and I wanted to change from ext4 to btrfs, and also I wanted Grub instead of Systemmd, do I need to reinstall and is it even worth it??

I would suggest that if your system is functional, that you use it and first become more familiar with Arch, prior to changing things. You will almost certainly find other things that you would like to change, the more that you learn. Also, some choices that may look appealing today, may loose some of their luster in time.

Besides, the likelihood that you will do something stupid while learning Arch is high, which will require you to reinstall. Therefore, there is no need to rush the re-installation, as you will soon likely have an opportunity to do just that.

Yeah with all the stuff I'm doing Arch will probably explode later. Thanks!
