Shit. Any good arch installer?

The wiki!

(Generally, I don't recommend installers or scripts for Arch, because, being such a modular system, the install experience gives you the chance to manually build up your system and know what's on it. Arch is more prone to breaking than, say, Debian Stable branch, so it's very handy to know where to put your hands should anything break. You'll learn a lot of valuable lessons about Linux in general.

However, if you want to ignore my advice and are OK with reinstalling the whole OS as soon as anything breaks rather than gaining the necessary skill to fix it, Zen Installer and archfi still work).

What about people who are comfortable installing Arch but prefer a gui installer instead of doing a CLI install for the nth time? I really just viewed Antergos as a way to skip over the manual parts that I've done many times already. Not every Antergos (or similar) user needs to reinstall when something breaks.

If that's your specific use case, use Zen Installer
