The Year of Linux/FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD on Desktops May Never Come. But We've Done Even Better
There are so many awesome looking rices. They look and feel awesome and are often lightweight, too. IMO, these are a lot cooler than any pre-configured DE. Some kind of "pseudo-DE" (really a meta-package) that took care of tedious set up aspects for the user would be great. There is an example of this for arch (not endorsing it particularly, just an example of a way this could be done).

Booting problems
I get it, I should have been more clear about it. I don't know where the issue originates from, so I put forth all the info, which is just that vanilla arch + LARBS.
- looking for a prericed / basic setup enviornment with GUI installer etc - preferablly arch (as i used to use it)

Some help with sed
I am writing an arch bootstrap script based on luke smith's. However, I am using rEFInd ( an alternative bootloader) instead of grub. One of refind's config file looks like this :
- I wrote a script for arch installation for personal use ... can anyone check it and recommend where I can make improvements?

List of software in the setup assistant
Was there a list of software that the setup assistant listed anywhere? (something like the larbs list would be very nice)
-
Making a bootstrap script for my custom Arch setup, does anyone want to sanity check and/or give me ideas and criticisms?
Basically, I copied a lot from Luke Smith's LARBS, but cut it down majorly because it handles all sorts of actual installation tasks that I will do manually (new user, partitioning, etc)

Does LARBS work?
I’m planning to buy a raspberry pi 4 and installing archlinux arm on it. Does something like LARBS work? since it pretty much has most of the software I need without doing much things.

Does Archinstall have any downsides?
IMHO, it still lacks proper error handling. When i'm in a hurry, i usually end up using ALIS. https://picodotdev.github.io/alis/

I wrote a stupid simple BASH script to bootstrap Arch Linux from any Linux system per the ArchWiki's manual instructions
have a look at ALIS by picodot. https://github.com/picodotdev/alis

Is Arch hard to use outside of building/installing?
No, it's like any other distribution. Even installation is now simplified through scripts like alis (https://picodotdev.github.io/alis/).

Linux Distro recommendations
I like arch and I use alis to install it using systemd and xfce. There's no ide you need to manually edit the conf file and hope you didnt do anything it didnt like https://picodotdev.github.io/alis/
- Improve Arch Linux on manual configurations and cleanliness

is a display manager required if I only use remote display?
Suppose if I want to fit this os and all necessary app dependencies on a smart toaster or fridge... but maintain absolute stability and reasonable response metrics. Bare metal through full capability deployment is what I'm thinking with Linux auto install, similar to https://github.com/khuedoan/homelab or https://github.com/picodotdev/alis
- I have been using Ubuntu for awhile right now im thinking to switch to arch, any tips

How would you (sanely) dual boot Arch with other distros?
Sorry I can't help but I wanted to say I was able to manually set up my partition using parted on the arch installer and this script allowed me to choose the boot and root partition https://github.com/picodotdev/alis
