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
-

Arch noob
Establishing a backup strategy. I'm using BTRFS with snapper and a pacman hook that creates a new snapshot before each upgrade. With ext4 I used timeshift. Besides that, I save my arch configuration with aconfmgr and my files with borg

New machine, same system: Top to bottom vs bottom to top
Since my last cloning I've setup aconfmgr and and systemd-homed. I've also been playing around with archinstall configs to partition the system with encryption how I like. In the future I'm planning to use archinstall and aconfmgr to setup a new system for me and then I'll copy over the backup of my home directory.

Rebuild a system
Have you tried aconfmgr? In addition to installing packages, it also tracks configurations in /etc and modified files.
- Alternatives to home-manager?

New arch install and partitioning, what's the best way to make backups that doesn't take up a ton of disk space?
For my backup I keep files in my home directory synced with my NAS via syncthing. For my system backup I don't actually backup up my system, I configure my system via aconfmgr and that config is stored in my home directory and synced to my NAS. Using aconfmgr to "backup" my system is extremely space effecient, my aconfmgr config is only 1.7 MB.
-
is there a good way to synchronize the system between different machines?
aconfmgr (in AUR) can be used to save and restore system configurations and installed packages. For user configuration you can use a dotfile manager like chezmoi (in repo).
-
Backup of system and package settings
I know you prefer backing up manually, but aconfmgr might be for you.
-
What do most people forget to do on a new install that's important?
To get something closer to nix on arch I like to use aconfmgr.
-
Is there anything similar to Arch's aconfmgr for Gentoo? A program that can track, manage and restore your Gentoo configuration?
For those who are not familiar with Arch's aconfmgr, well I have not used it before but just saw it in a post. But it seems to be a configuration manager for Arch. It tracks, manages, and restores your Arch Linux OS configuration.
