Hot take: If you're using Arch, you probably shouldn't be using install scripts written by someone else (except archinstall). If you think Arch is too inconvenient to use without an install script, a different distro might suit you better. Fedora is awesome, give it a try. [1/3]

Not trying to be an elitist or gatekeep here. I want more people to use Linux. Arch is for a very specific type of person, anyone outside that demographic using Arch might suffer in the long run. Because when things break in Arch, you ultimately have to fix it yourself. [2/3]

This is why I avoid recommending Arch to new Linux users. It's best to let people get accustomed to Linux before they use something that requires more maintenance. I love that distros like Omarchy are bringing more people into Linux, but at the same time it kinda scares me. [3/3]
