Arch can be configured without archinstall in 20 minutes by a YouTube video even if you're a grandma with 0 technical skills.

Let's all stop pretending that having it manually installed means anything and just use whatever does it for us. Like, well, Endeavour.

    You... heavily overestimate a grandma with 0 technical skills.

    It can be installed in 20 minutes with a youtube video by a person with 0 technical knowledge that is comfortable using a computer and doesn't get scared seeing a terminal.

    It’s not the installation I fail on. It’s that 3-4 months after installation, my installation is so bespoke that I don’t even know how to make a forum post on it anymore.

    I did mention I can install it by hand, but I hardly gain any benefit by doing so other than clout. And I don’t give a hoot about clout.

    That's one of my gripes with Arch, too. It takes too much manual interaction on an everyday basis, it's not a "set it and forget it" kind of system.

    To some, sometimes lesser, extent it also translates to its derivatives, be it Endeavour, Garuda, Manjaro or whatever strikes one's fancy.
