I’ve used Archinstall without issue a couple times now. I get why it might not fit every use case or seem as intuitive to others as it does to me but I’ve enjoyed using it.

    I tried to use Archinstall but I was installing on a partition on a secondary drive and I couldn't get it to go in the right place so I just did it the long way. It's really not that hard but I can see how it's a bit daunting if you've never done it before. Archinstall seems like it would be good if you where installing it as the main os.

    ArchInstall seems to offer or install stuff that may be confusing for a new user though, such as installing the OS on LVM, enabling zram, zero swap allocated, etc

    If I bothered to do it all over again, I'd likely go with manual install instead of ArchInstall.

    yeah something like this is what I'm talking about. when I set up my laptop I followed a Reddit post by someone who had the same model. it wasn't difficult by any means but it took a while to get everything configured.

    Manjaro comes with a shitload of stuff that I don't need and I end up ripping out a lot of it and disabling services
