arcrypt VS LARBS

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).

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.

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 :

Was there a list of software that the setup assistant listed anywhere? (something like the larbs list would be very nice)

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)

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.
