Look up the arch installer called feliz. Very simple and easy to use!
Or you can try Manjaro or antegros which are derivates of arch. -
daniwithd268y@gnaaah @QuantumAtom Thanks for the tips, but the reason Arch attracts me is that "I know my computer" feeling, which I would not get with those easy-archs 😔

veruz1278yArch is a good to manually install once or twice. You learn something, feel great and get tinkering.
It showed me a more inside look into the file system etc, but it's not something I'd do day to day.
Manjaro gives you a nice environment that works out of the box without having to spend another six hours after installation to get basic sound working.
Tl;dr: install arch once or twice to learn, get an installer afterwards.

Seriously, I would LOVE to get Arch running on my laptop, but everytime I try to something goes wrong, be it bootloader, audio, cooptimus drivers, undetected network card, window manager going crazy, etc etc etc... and I simply end giving up and reinstalling my backup.
Someday, Arch, someday...
