Anyone else prefer building an ISO yourself over downloading/torrenting it? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

idk why, but whenever I need an Arch ISO, I rather build it myself with Archiso than download it from the website. Am I alone with this?

I have never done this or even knew this existed. I have always just downloaded the latest ISO, used the Archinstall script, and then added / removed stuff as required after installation is completed.

What is the benefit of using ArchISO instead? Useful for custom build deployment across multiple machines perhaps?

Yes.

Although I did build my own ISO with a few extra programs to help me with some IT tasks, primarily dding the whole drive to 0.
