What's archinstall and why do people get mad when people use it and whats the difference between archinstall and like not archinstall
- @retropieos-official
archinstall is an install script that you can download once you get your archiso set up, after you install it to the iso you can run it and it'll install arch for you instead of having to set everything up yourself. This allows you to skip pacstrap, genfstab, manually setting up certain /etc files, and a whole bunch of other stuff you gotta do to set up arch
Some people don't like it because "it's not the proper way to install arch" which is stupid
Personally I don't like it because it's buggy, doesn't work on older systems, makes broad assumption about what the user wants on their system, and doesn't help you understand the system more (when understanding the system is part of why a lot of people do arch)
But it's not like I'm gonna hate on you for using it, if it's easier and you want an arch system go for it
