Got Arch installed and working on an old laptop. Definitely a challenge: the official instructions left me completely lost re how to install grub. But GPT handholding helped, and I'm impressed and found the experience surprisingly educational!

Did you manually setup hard drive encryption too? That part is fun. I think I've gone through the arch installation process five times in the past six years. The documentation has always changed, usually due to new recommendations, just enough for me to get tripped up somewhere

Arch is probably one of the very best distros of Linux. Enjoy it! Also take a look at NixOS if you want to test an inmutable distro.
