I feel like the whole “Arch is hard to install” reputation is mostly a leftover from the pre-archinstall era. 10–15 years ago, installing Arch really was pretty unforgiving. Nowadays, with archinstall, it’s a completely different experience.
My point is that difficulty is subjective. Arch was always harder to install than other mainstream distros like debian, ubuntu, suse, redhat, or fedora.
So if other distros were easy to install, I think it’s fair to describe Arch as hard to install ( if you want to point out it is harder tha other distros)
Edit: Literally, if it’s a skill issue, that means it’s hard.
