    I don’t remember installing arch. Hm. Can’t have been a big hassle. Is this some kind of meta meme?

      Yup. It’s a very manual install that’ll let you screw it up, so it’s gained that reputation. But it really isn’t bad if you follow the wiki (or have done it before).

          That’s only if you use an automated script, and only if it works. ‘Default’ install is almost entirely manual, other than letting pacman grab what it needs to.

              Arch has been daily driver for years, I’m already familiar with the process. There’s an option for a guided system. The default is a terminal with no guidance.

                My favorite part about Linux users is that they’ll just assume you have no idea what you’re talking about even if you’ve been using it for years.
