  • archinstall

    Arch Linux installer - guided, templates etc.

    • There is a reason that archinstall is not the recommended way to install Arch and that the developers gave up on maintaining the AIF years ago. If you are going to use Arch, you need to learn how to read the wiki. The wiki entry for archinstall https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/archinstall is pretty clear that "archinstall stores all user and (secondary) disk encryption passwords in plain text." There is an open bug report about this https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/1062.
