Funny you say that! Arch images now ship with an official installer as of a couple of months ago - which is comparable to the Ubuntu or Fedora installers in ease-of-use.

- Accacin 5y agoI'm a big fan of Arch, but that installer is pretty dodgy. I wouldn't use it (at least in the state it was in a few months back) personally. However I do welcome an installer, it's fun to install Arch a couple of times, but after that I'm not really learning anything new.
- l0b0 5y agoCool, I had no idea! Does it have my required minimal set of features? - Able to connect to WiFi from within the installer. - Full-disk encryption setup, ideally with a single checkbox like Ubuntu. - Interactive partitioning. - Auto-detects or allows choosing between BIOS/UEFI. - Supports creating a NetworkManager-based network setup, so that I don't have to switch network managers after installation.
- j-james 5y agoNo to connecting to WiFi from the installer: this is currently done with iwd before installation. Yes to everything else.
