Can't install pi-hole

[verbayer]

I want to install pi-hole for ad blocking but I ran into the ‘OS distribution not supported’ error in setup. I saw a few solution suggestions for skipping the OS check process in their forum and tried them but I still have the same issue. Has anyone had this situation and knows how to solve it?
here is the output:

I looked there first but I did not understand much as I am not an experienced user. Is there a simpler solution to this issue except changing the distribution? Because I really like Manjaro & Arch Linux but I don’t have enough experience or knowledge to do this, also I don’t want to change the distribution for only one app.

The other solutions are:

• run it on another piece of hardware
• Forget about it for now until you become more proficient and will be able to follow an Arch Article.

Please read this in the meantime:

Difficulty: ☆☆☆☆☆ Remember when you installed your very first Windows, added bells and whistles and then couldn’t see the trees for the wood any more and had to re-install? Well, you’re in the same situation now: You’re a N00b again! Embrace it! I know right now you’re thinking: Why is this so much more difficult than Windows?

Actually I did many things with Arch by following the Arch Wiki, but this time I got confused. But thanks for the advice and for the article you gave below.

run it on another piece of hardware

maybe I can try that on another pc with a wsl distribution which supports the app.

If you have a raspberry-pi you can also create your pi-hole on it, this way you can also use it on many other devices, even remotely if you let the raspberry-pi always turned on with a remote access opened.

Yeah, that is a choice too. But I’d prefer to have the pi-hole in my pc.
