Launch the guided archinstall is the comfortable mode, 2/3 of the article are done automatically through option selects at the beginning, and one installs Arch within two minutes. A configuration file can be saved also.
The archinstall command/script doesn't (yet?) implement disk sector-size selection and some of the other relevant details of the article, but the introduction of this installation mode within Arch makes life easier, besides do not intimidate people.
It is a notoriously big leap in the direction of usability, IMHO this is a path to follow (one of the paths to follow).
PS:
The article uses yay to install the DE. I think the article should have commented the difference between Core, Extra and AUR packages.
At least in the case of NVMe disks, changing the LBA format does not seem to increase performance, and more importantly, in some cases could degrade the random read-write speed for just increasing sequential a little (bad thing, random read-write it is more important that sequential for a SO).
In theory the mainboard will select the appropriate format for the NVMe disk.
