EOS provides some more QoL features, it’s not just the installation itself (a button to update mirrors, auto keyring update, some nice pre-installed things like yay, etc)

If you need an Arch installation ready to go out of the box, EOS is a solid choice.

Edit: not trying to convince you to jump to EOS, just providing a bit more context about the distro

    Yeah, that's cool. For me, the beauty of Arch is how naked it is when I install it. It's like "least priveleges" but for my workstation. I only add the crap I want. No more, no less.

    I cut my teeth on FreeBSD 2.2.1 way back in '97 or whenever the hell that came out. Suffice it to say, that OS was naked as hell. Arch feels like coming home to me in a strange way, even though BSD is still solid. Linux is a much better workstation that BSD these days.

    edit: perhaps I'm something of a masochist. :)
