We customize it for NAS / Virtualization Servers, and we've always installed the "manual" way for maximum flexibility, but install scripts are great for getting new users to try things out. Manjaro is based on Arch, and it has a really intuitive installer.

~16% of the code in the modern Linux kernel is the open source AMD GPU driver. Team red has made great strides in that area. If you are into CV / LLMs, ROCm 6.2 now supports multi-GPU for RNDA2&3 cards. Lots of reasons to try an AMD GPU on Linux now.
