It is archlinux by default and I recommend keeping it like that. Swap is enabled by default and the archinstall script is going to create it automatically. You need to enter the Bootloader option and select yes, when you are asked if you want to switch to GRUB: GRUB is more configurable and I find it to be easier for new users. It is a good option, however, I recommend switching to GRUB. Bootloaderīy default, the archinstall script offer to use systemd-bootct. If you are a beginner Arch Linux user, you may lock out yourself from the data by using the encryption password. I assume this automatic installation is used by beginners, and encryption is rather an advanced topic. I recommend skipping the disk encryption. For example, it automatically detected that my system is UEFI and created /boot partition for it and the rest was allocated to the system ( / - root partition). The automatic partitioning on the other hand works really well. Unfortunately, this partition manager is not user-friendly and you are very likely to do a mistake or misconfigure your partitions.

NOTE, this will delete all your data from the hard drive, so install this Arch Linux on your test computer or back up all the data first.

In the disk layout option, you need to configure the partition layout of your Arch Linux installation. Select the one where you want to install Arch Linux.

Press Enter on the Mirror region option and search for your country using the arrow keys on your keyboard. It will make it easier to follow the installer and you can also change the system language and add additional keyboard layouts later after the installation. I recommend keeping the language and keyboard English US. Now, we will go through each of these options with explanations. Use the Enter key to choose any option and the Esc key to go back/exit.
