Practice in a VM and see for yourself! I did that, set everything up, and ultimately decided it was more system admin detail than I wanted to take on. But as far as ease goes, it’s not especially hard, there’s just not much in the way of hand-holding or preset configs, and you’ll likely find there’s a lot of preinstalled drivers and things you take for granted.

It’s not to bad as others are saying. Real question is to why you don’t want to use the installer?

They are quite good. I just used one for a Gentoo install because I have better things to do with my time. Can I do it for the millionth time sure by hand sure but what’s the point? End result is more consistent than me as a human doing it by hand

I always manage to forget the locale or NetworkManager or set a password for root etc… Unless you have a hyper-specific partitioning scheme or system config these work great

You always forget to set a password for root?

Exactly. archinstall is pretty nice, and if you want the frustration of dealing with random errors, it’s still there. But it’s straightforward (but keep the docs handy since you’ll likely need them).

Pretty easy. It’s not so much using intuition as it is reading step-by-step instructions. If you can use a cook book, you can install arch.

Source: I use once installed arch, btw

Add a pinch of salt l, and a smidgen of sugar later

Serve after breaking your dependencies to taste

It’s easy if you can follow directions, hard if you don’t have directions, impossible if you don’t have directions and don’t know what you’re doing; archinstall is effortless.

Takes just over a minute… How hard can it be

If you have reading comprehension of, at least, an 8th-grader, you’ll do just fine. The instructions are all there

at most, an 8th-grader

Phew, looks like my 6th grade education is finally paying off!
