Archinstall ntp non servers?
In any case, have you studied https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Archinstall and https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall. While archinstall is new and has the expected bugs, I've not had your issues before. You might try an earlier ISO, like Oct 2023, though it's not clear if you're using an ISO or the archinstall installed package.

Trusted GUI installer to install pure ArchLinux ?
I'm using my laptop as dual boot between Manjaro and Windows 10, I tried for months to install ArchLinux using archinstall tool but the operation always fails with random errors, because I want to install it on a single ext4 partition like how Manjaro is installed. Is there any trusted GUI installer that uses calamares and can install pure ArchLinux ?

Endeavor vs Vanilla arch?
The related issue https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/1111 implies it's fixed, but either way, you can just securely delete your password after the install.

grub-install needed after GRUB package gets updated?
Mount that partition as /efi. Change this in your /etc/fstab as well. This is a good time to remove all the weird carriage returns that archinstall puts in your fstab file (https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/1399).

Steam On Linux Use Ticked Higher In May, 25% Of Linux Gamers Are Using The Steam Deck
Most distros have a nice graphical installer which does make things less of a hassle. But these days Arch also bundles archinstall which is quite easy to use and supports a few display environments for automatic setup right out the gate which is nice.

Or just use archinstall which is official part of the iso file.

You can post an issue at: https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall to get the attention of the developer. He's represented here but I forget his user id.

Plz help I'm trying Archinstall in virtual box but is not working
If you're still suffering with this problem: Maybe try to find the file/module on your system. If it's present, you might want to try to run this pacman -Sy python archinstall (found it here: https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/1810) to reinstall python and the archinstall script. I hope that this helps you.

Does Archinstall have any downsides?
Still feels that it is in rapid development phase, rather than just maintenance, last month I encountered this bug
- Arch installation claims archinstall doesn't exist 😂😂😂 What a joke of an OS!

Nix: The Breaking Point
I don't think so. The article is probably intended for the Nix community, so the author doesn't need to convince HN that something is going on. If as an outsider you are interested then you need to look into it yourself, the community has no obligation to make their internal conflicts legible to the outside world.
As an outsider myself, it certainly looks like something is going on as more than 20 Nixpkg maintainers left in a week: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues?q=label%3A%228.has%3...

NixOS Is Not Reproducible
Yes, Nix doesn't actually ensure that the builds are deterministic. In fact it works just fine if they aren't. There are packages in nixpkgs that aren't reproducible: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aiss...

The xz attack shell script
I'm not familiar with Bazel, but Nix in it's current form wouldn't have solved this attack. First of all, the standard mkDerivation function calls the same configure; make; make install process that made this attack possible. Nixpkgs regularly pulls in external resources (fetchUrl and friends) that are equally vulnerable to a poisoned release tarball. Checkout the comment on the current xz entry in nixpkgs https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/tools/comp...

Debian Git Monorepo
NixOS uses a monorepo and I think everyone's love it.
I love being able to easily grep through all the packages source code and there's regularly PRs that harmonizes conventions across many packages.
Nixpkgs doesn't include the packaged software source code, so it's a lot more practical than what Debian is doing.
