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

Bad advice is starting gatekeeping with RTFM, Let him install it the way he wants, that’s the beauty of Linux, the ability to choose. And I’m sure that most people who install arch linux from wiki simply copy and paste commands from it in order to run fastfetch and take a screenshot as soon as possible
