Arch is a doddle these days, but still has excellent documentation, which was always it’s strength (archwiki is life), read, learn. Personally it led me via fedora for stability to immutable ublue kinoite. When NixOS is there (stable), so shall I be, in the meantime I am happy with a distrobox arch with the AUR for all my random needs…
All I’m getting from this is that arch is easier than I expected and will give me a much better end result than the distros I’m used to.
Absolutely yes to the first part, just use archinstall. The second is in large part up to you, but pacman + AUR are amazing.
I suppose this depends entirely on your expectations?

It is very manual though. For rolling release BTRFS snapshots like on Fedora and Opensuse Tumbleweed are a total must.
