I actually feel like the archinstall[0] tool included in the official Arch ISOs really nails easy installation. It's an official way to install Arch that is incredibly user friendly and fast, in my opinion.

- red-iron-pine 3y agothank you for sharing this. one of my hesitations around Arch was the effort to set it up -- I'm too old and too busy to deal with doing it all by hand. I ran Gentoo back in college, did LFS once -- all good learning experiences -- but Fedora or Ubuntu can get me a usable system in 20 minutes and I don't have to think too hard about anything except basic partitioning and a password. This looks like it'll get me something working, but not commit me to a full-on Manjaro install.
- heywoodlh 3y ago> thank you for sharing this. Absolutely! Archinstall is so nice to just get a system up and running quickly. And not many installers (i.e. on other distros) give you so many options for desktop environments. archinstall is a great tool!
