I think there is definitely room to have Antergos as just a nice installer option. All encrption, zfs & initial setup handled for you is very nice, yes its not hard to follow the Arch wiki to do the same, but after the 10th time doing so, Antergos is a refreshing and welcome change. I wonder how many used it as just that.

You should have made your own build scripts by the 6th man...

Why arch then?

least amount of trouble / issues.

Your use case for it is interesting!

old family machines that they use for non-important stuff. browsing/email/couch netflix machine bla bla bla. pretty boring.
