Only handle the simple cases. When they don't tell you exactly what they are going to do, well then they are useless because you can't trust them. Gonna touch the gpt ? Gonna create a hybrid mbr? Gonna force me to use CSM? Gonna *touch* any other partition than what I tell you??? hard pass.
I actually miss the older style gui installers where you picked all your options and which packages you wanted to install first, then let 'er rip. I guess asking too many questions up front was seen as intimidating to newbies.
Having tried archinstall and Manjaro Architect, I really prefer architect as it gives all the control and customizability of a bespoke installation, yet a 5 minute installer.
Don’t get me wrong, I like how simple archinstall is and it is a very good starting point.
