    What’s the deal with Arch/CLI/“complicated” linux distro hate? GUIs generally suck more than CLI/TUI tools. If Arch distributed an official GUI installer ISO, nobody would ever use it; the ISO would be huge compared to its current size and the archinstall TUI is the best installer I’ve come across so far. Just stop being afraid of the terminal.

    Debian also doesn’t come with a GUI package manager as far as I’m aware.

    Also stop shilling Linux Mint to new users. Fedora, OpenSUSE TW, Debian, Ubuntu, and I’d even say Clear Linux are all more attractive operating systems to use for anyone who switches over. Cinnamon is just not as good as the alternatives and if you’re not using Cinnamon, you might as well use Debian.

      If people didn’t need Arch with GUI, distributions like EndeavourOS, Manjaro, Garuda wouldn’t exist

      The best CLI installer I used was from FreeBSD, the arch CLI installer didn’t even run on bare metal and I’m not afraid of the terminal, I often use it to configure dot files and use programs that don’t have a GUI, I just think that the lack of choice between GUI and CLI is bad
