[SOLVED] Install An operating system to an sd card
I want to install an operating system on arch, but I don't want to use a virtual machine. Is it possible to install it on an SD card and chroot into it using the main machine?

Yes. Why wouldn't it be?
Some hardware might have trouble booting to an SD card, but for chrooting you just need a directory ... it can be on an HDD, SSD, SD card, RAM, NFS, or anywhere.

Ok, that solved my problem. Thank you.
Marking as solved.
