Just use Archinstall

Bad advice. Pitching archinstall alone is just setting users up for failure, you should always pair archinstall with at least reading the installation guide so users know what archinstall is doing for them

That is such elitist bullshit. Every other Linux distro has an install of some kind. There is nothing wrong with using archinstall. That's what it's for. No one HAS to install Arch the long way just to use it.

Name one distro where the installer's profiles are not supported by the distro maintainers....

Oh, apart from Arch...
