It’s fast, but you are only installing base
, linux
and grub
.
base-devel
should also be there, since it’s assumed to be installed by any PKGBUILD you’d want to build with makepkg.
But yes. It does what it said it would do: Install a basic, minimal Arch system in just over a minute.
I disagree, making your own packages is nice, but it’s not like it’s needed. I know multiple people who don’t touch the AUR or custom pkgbuilds at all
