Sure, but Debian with the CLI installer. The normal installer is pretty straight forward but not as easy as calamaris or anaconda. I bet people who can install Debian are skilled enough for archinstall
I'm not sure about this. My journey through Linux was Ubuntu > Arch > Debian > Fedora + Arch.
Even just Ubuntu gave me enough knowledge to try Arch. Even Windows Powerusers could know shit about partitioning, installing etc.
Years ago I installed it manually, too. For learning, yes. But regularly, no. The archinstall package is easy but a newbie would struggle there, too. It's just a faster way for skilled Linux Users.
Lemmy and Mastodon now for 4 years. It's the only social media I regular use. Ok there is a bluesky and nostr account but I visit them once in a month.
Means what?
