You do have to install/setup a lot more stuff yourself, fwiw. That’s probably largely what it is, that there’s little that comes pre-baked. It’s basically a build-a-distro toolkit.
I’d say most of that is just outdated opinions based on a time when archinstall wasn’t yet included in the live ISO and using it was also more frowned upon and seen as a “cheat”. Thankfully we mostly got over that second part.
I installed arch using archinstall a few years ago just because i got sold on a custom hyperland config, never looked back.
I have yet to understand what the fuss is all about with it being difficult or not new user friendly.
Yes there are weekly updates, and on occasion they do break something, but that was never different on windows.
I used to do that but switched away from Hyprland after cosmic released.

Tbh i think the hypeland configuration solved pretty much all that for me.
The project has been renamed and changed maintainer since but its still very much alive if anyone wants to check it out.

I had never seen a tiling window manager before and my only experience on Linux was a little ubuntu server to run my Minecraft server from.
Isn’t Hyprland created by a fascist?
Is it?!
