No, it is not. No one is *making* people do anything. There is an installation
guide that does what it's supposed to: tell you what you need to do to end up
with a supported default Arch Linux install.

It is not meant to be a comprehensive guide on every step of the process, with
commands to copy and paste into a terminal. Separate wiki pages do that, you
just need to put in the tiniest possible bit of effort to find them.

And if you don't know how to partition disks, or have no idea if your laptop
uses EFI or not, or want a list of checkboxes to tick instead of already
knowing what you want to end up with... then maybe, just maybe, Arch is not the
distro you should be installing in the first place.
