I don't use Arch but if I did id probably go with archinstall. I don't see the point in going from scratch unless you absolutely need to. I could care less about bragging rights for installing an operating system lol.

I just don't bother going for archinstall when regular installation "from scratch" takes 5 minutes (or 15, if you do it the first time). It is not scary and extremely simple, contrary to memes. Besides, it makes you understand the processes involved.

Archinstall is just a little, nice helper to shorten and simplify installation even more.

You mean "couldn't care less". The way you've written it means that you do care a bit since you "could care less".

It’s not about bragging rights, all you do is follow instructions. I just do it that way because I can set everything up exactly how I like it
