You… heavily overestimate a grandma with 0 technical skills.
It can be installed in 20 minutes with a youtube video by a person with 0 technical knowledge that is comfortable using a computer and doesn’t get scared seeing a terminal.
It’s not the installation I fail on. It’s that 3-4 months after installation, my installation is so bespoke that I don’t even know how to make a forum post on it anymore.
I did mention I can install it by hand, but I hardly gain any benefit by doing so other than clout. And I don’t give a hoot about clout.
Arch can be configured without archinstall in 20 minutes by a YouTube video even if you’re a grandma with 0 technical skills.
Let’s all stop pretending that having it manually installed means anything and just use whatever does it for us. Like, well, Endeavour.

Fair enough. Honestly, fear is the main barrier
If you can open a YouTube video, open a terminal and not scream in horror, you fill all the prerequisites.

That’s one of my gripes with Arch, too. It takes too much manual interaction on an everyday basis, it’s not a “set it and forget it” kind of system.
To some, sometimes lesser, extent it also translates to its derivatives, be it Endeavour, Garuda, Manjaro or whatever strikes one’s fancy.
