>/g/ told me that archinstall is cheating
It’s a meme. The Arch Wiki exists to help you configure and build your base system from the ground up. Most of what you learn there won’t apply to day-to-day use—unless you break something, which usually only happens if you're downloading sketchy shit from the AUR.
And if you are? You already know the risks.
Arch is one of the easiest, lightest, and most secure distros out there, if you’re responsible with what you install.
