Do you genuinely like Arch? As a Linux enjoyer (Bazzite and Aurora), I never managed to ever get Arch installed.

Always ran into the weird problems that acted as a blocker to installing an Arch-based distro. I might try to get it done someday so I can say, "I use Arch by the way."

Have you tried the archinstall TUI that is shipped with the Arch iso? Its not the user-friendliest installer, but it does a nice job helping you getting it installed with some decent power-user options.

I might consider it some day...If I get desperate to try Arch. It is an effective user filter just like the "user friendly" Arch distros are, and it does work well from what I've read. Except it does have some scary stuff that can happen if you really aren't paying attention like manual partitioning can...Get hairy. Not as horrifying as Linux from Scratch, but not a pleasant 15 minute max install experience of the distros I tend to favor.

I used archinstall, as the previous comment said, and beyond that arch has been stable (for the most part) and fun to use.

I think the most important part is that you are having fun with Arch, as one's OS should fulfill your needs and wants! If I get the wild hair to change my current distro, I'll give archinstall a shot after reading a lot about it.
