    The new / rewritten arch install is fantastic. The btrfs layout, with encryption, really nice experience and end result.

    I don’t use Arch but if I did id probably go with archinstall. I don’t see the point in going from scratch unless you absolutely need to. I could care less about bragging rights for installing an operating system lol.

    “from scratch”

    It’s like a page worth of instructions you can follow verbatim excluding bootloader and network. If you watch one video of someone doing it to fill those gaps there is nothing to it.

    Source: I watched Kai Hendry speed install arch, bookmarked the video and all my machines are now arch “from scratch” in 10 minutes or less of actual keyboard time.

      To get a fully working setup, Wayland + NVidia + Pipewire etc. it takes a lot more time tho. Especially if you have Arch testing and use other testing packages from the AUR.
