I show you the new arch installer guided python CLI tool. You do not have to manually do the archlinux install, you can now have the option of using this installer that is part of the installer ISO from archlinux.org. I go into a little detail about the documentation of the installer, and where to find and modify the python files. The 'archinstall' GitHub readme says you can do a lot more with this than just use it in the ISO.
ADDENDUM: May 1st, 2021 archlinux ISO, the main menu changed for 'archinstall' and moved all the desktops into the desktop menu.
