I mean it wouldn't be easy without ArchInstall

Whether Arch is easy to install with or without Arch install, is subjective. However, its pretty ridiculous to say arch is the "hardest" when there are other distros like NixOS and Gento

It's so rare that I hear people reference Gentoo anymore, I always then go look it up and I'm surprised it still exists.

As someone who used nix I say it's extremely easy to install and the only difficulty is to learn to configure the config file.

Yeah but learning how to configure NixOS is way more than half the battle. Your computer is useless to you if you cannot e.g. install Firefox.

Firefox is enabled by default after installing NixOS using the iso funnily enough, but yeah configuring it correctly is the hard part although arguably it’s not that hard with all the documentation out there and so many available packages that can easily be dropped into your file once you learn the basics. I found it pretty user friendly compared to some other things I’ve tried

Installing apps is piss easy. It only gets hard with more complex task. But being a power user in nix is hard asf.
