Wht does it even matter if you don't install Arch manually? Is the whole point of the arch installing? I don't think so, it's using. If you don't find anything joyful in manually installing arch it's perfectly fine to manually install only once to make sure you know how it works. And just use archinstall in every following installation that's not shamefu

    No! Heathen! Download the source for every package and compile it yourself! Compile the kernel yourself, compile the compiler yourself! Never script anything, always do every step manually, every time! Using tools that make things convenient and foolproof makes you weak and unappreciative of the real hardship and struggle it requires to checks notes use a personal computer!

    The "btw" is insincere if they didn't do it manually, they should be prohibited from using it.

    Arch's tag to neatly summarise the aloof snobbery must be preserved. If archintall script users can say it; how long until "I use manjaro btw", or "i use endeavouros btw". At which point it just has no value - I don't believe these people are genuinely considering themselves superior to other users - as reflected in several other comments here.

    Archinstall script should be modified to install a keylogger that will bork the system if ever "arch btw" is detected.

    If one has installed arch using the installer, what is the correct way to impart upon the world that you are in fact a user of arch. Can one very quickly and silently breathe out the words "iusearch"?
