Arch is harder so install to as a recommendation its harder than the others. Though I think the last time I installed it was years ago ik theirs like a graphical installer now??? How the mighty have fallen
I don’t recommend it to first timers, because the install process does get you a good feel of what you’ll be expected to know, but I’ve been running arch for years I’m not doing that manually anymore xD
It used to be a lot more difficult.
On my first Arch install, I had to edit xorg.conf blindly, because the screen didn’t show anything due to an error in xorg.conf.

But yeah Gentoo is like in a league of its own
There’s no graphical installer officially, no. There are many Arch derivatives with installers though, like CachyOS.
Installing Arch is literally running like 10 commands, and it’s all very well documented.
Now you’re running Arch. Make a user and install a DE, optionally.
It’s even simpler now: Plug in stick, reboot
Select the stick as the boot media
“archinstall”
Configure
Done.

I didn’t even know that existed until today
I installed my current system with archinstall, I know I can do it the manual way but it was so easy.
Yeah I feel like people vastly overestimate how difficult it is.

Could you not have switched tty and edited there?
