i started learning about linux 4 months ago. Installed Arch with archinstall pretty easily to a VM, it booted up no problem. But you have to manually install the desktop, if you want a gui (who doesn't lol). But there are many desktops for Arch, the most common ones have pretty good documentation. But if i were you, i'd experiment with some more niche desktop emviroments
No need to manually install desktop environments, archinstall also does that (Profile --> Desktop).
i didn't have that option in Archinstall
You did, probably just didn't see it ;) It's been part of it for years, since around 2020 according to GitHub. But to be fair, calling the option "Profile" might not be very intuitive for some people, so it's easy to miss.
i checked every option. maybe it was an old version or a modified one
I haved used many distros and DEs. my favorites are keyboard driven like i3 and such. For now i use fedora because i needed something to work out of the box. I would like to stay in the terminal.
i tried lxqt and gnome. those were disappointments. And i used kde and cinnamon too, those are good
Nice i like lxqt but dont use it currently
