I haven't installed it since ~2016/2017, so my knowledge might be outdated. If you use one of the arch-based distros with a GUI, then you're right that it's very easy to install.
If you follow the Wiki though, I think you still learn quite a bit: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/installation_guide https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/installation_guide
- eru 3y agoI am following that guide whenever I do a new install. I've never used one of those GUI enabled installers for Arch. I started with Arch around 2010, and last did a fresh install on a new computer a few months ago. Yes, you can still learn quite a bit from the guide if you are new to it. But it's gotten a lot easier over the years. I remember eg X and wifi used to be a bit of a pain, but now they mostly just work. Thanks to UEFI, you can also boot directly into your kernel, and no longer need to muck around with an extra boot manager like grub or syslinux. (Assuming your computer's UEFI implementation is not too buggy.)
