Really.... It has ZFS on root? Why is not a thing? Boot Environments are great. (Specially with an unstable thing like Arch)

If someone asks for help because their Linux box is acting 'flakey', the first thing I ask is "What distribution are you using?" If they're using a 'systemd distribution', I tell them they'll have to get help from someone else.
Note that I do not tell someone with 'systemd-box' problems that they'll have to get a 'systemd' expert; there IS no such person.

Honestly, I can't be even bothered to care about this. Considering my expieriences with installers, I feel like I'm better off setting things up by hand. It goes down pretty quick after you do it like 3 times, and learning the process shows a lot about how to manage the operating system. It also handles non-trivial setups just fine. I'd rather spend 10 minutes running a couple of commands rather than seeing horrors of block name based fstab generated by netinstall debian image (debian in general never worked too well for me) or other spectacular failures.
Having an "easy" arch distro defeats the purpose, because arch is just a decent generic systemd distro with good docs and repositories. There's no need for such distributions (especially when they have their own repositories) when ubuntu (or any other "user-friendly" systemd distro) fills the gap just fine, with the majority of arch's amazing documentation being applicable.
