MODERATORS
A couple years ago they approved a curated script, that’s now bundled with the iso. If you already know your install flow, this won’t really add anything to your experience. I’d still recommend the official way
Oh I thought that was an April fools joke! I'm pretty sure I saw something about it on April 1st on the homepage. Had no idea it was a real thing.
That you care to acknowledge is the problem.
Is using cfdisk cheating?
No it's not. archinstall isn't cheating, either :)
Indeed. It's an OS install, not an exam.
Yet, for some unknown reason some treat it as a rite of passage.
Maybe not a rite of passage, but a good learning experience if you want to know what goes into your system! I'd recommend trying it to those who want to get more out of their system and know what they're using... Though I also wouldn't recommend Arch to people who don't want that.
