I can install Arch blindfolded without archinstall, but I don't think it is the superior option.

It is either unstable or maintenance-heavy, depending on how you treat it, compared to other distributions.

It is bleeding-edge though, and pretty memory-effective and speedy.

With NixOS on the rise, I'm not sure how much longer this remains the case. Haven't tried it yet, though.

I mostly use windows and arch, but i think debian is pretty based

Arch is a great os, great wiki, great packages. But it expects the user to do everything themselves. Which is something that not everyone wants to do, which is fair

I use arch btw (im new to it lol)
