Any of them that use the Arch repos directly are probably fine. Don't use Manjaro.

I will say that Arch does now have a guided installer, so you don't need to do everything manually. Here's the wiki page for it: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Archinstall

btw I use arch

How come you say Manjaro is not recommended? I went straight for Arch years ago so I don't know what's wrong with the derivatives.

Any other derivatives are fine AFAIK, just not Manjaro. There's quite a bit out there about why you should avoid Manjaro. This source is older, but I've linked it before: https://github.com/arindas/manjarno

The link seems rather outdated.

It probably is. I think there are newer examples available, but I lack the motivation to find them for others. I feel it still represents the fundamental issues with Manjaro, if not the current specific ones.
