Also why does everyone seem to hate on Ubuntu?

    This is it mostly for sure. I used to be that True Linux Enjoyer. I still install arch sometimes but I only ever use an arch-derived distribution now that comes with an installer. I already feel like there’s not enough time in the day without having to manually copy files off a USB stick

      None of the usual installers can do what I want unfortunately, so I’m stuck doing it myself.

          BTRFS with LUKS (OpenSUSE gets close), but using rEFInd as bootloader. Snapper snapshots, Zram.

          I’m actually thinking about switching to systemd-boot with Secure Boot, TPM2 and stuff, so even further from mainstream installers.

            Last time I used EndeavourOS, I managed to get the graphical installer to install BTRFS on LUKS, it did require custom partitioning in the graphical installer, snapper just worked after that.

            Zram (or was it Zswap?) was pretty easy to enable after installatiok

            The bootloader might be beyond what the graphical installer can do though… I never really bothered switching…

          Not them but for me its LUKS on LVM for desktops. For laptops, archinstall with LVM on LUKS is sufficient.

            I have a similar need for a “niche” install. I need Arch for it. I’m doing a laptop installation with LUKS2, TPM2, Secure Boot, systemd-boot with UKI, BTFRS, Apparmor and it has a Oculink eGPU dock station.
