    i started learning about linux 4 months ago. Installed Arch with archinstall pretty easily to a VM, it booted up no problem. But you have to manually install the desktop, if you want a gui (who doesn't lol). But there are many desktops for Arch, the most common ones have pretty good documentation. But if i were you, i'd experiment with some more niche desktop emviroments

    No need to manually install desktop environments, archinstall also does that (Profile --> Desktop).

    You did, probably just didn't see it ;) It's been part of it for years, since around 2020 according to GitHub. But to be fair, calling the option "Profile" might not be very intuitive for some people, so it's easy to miss.

    I haved used many distros and DEs. my favorites are keyboard driven like i3 and such. For now i use fedora because i needed something to work out of the box. I would like to stay in the terminal.
