ARCO Linux Pro is NOT Supetb

I am installing it on top of MANJARO Linux with 16.6GB space.
Well, I jacked it up to 20GB.
Installer is AMAZINGLY good gives me the early days of Debian Gnome, where dialog boxes with options to choose.
Unlike Debian this is more streamlined and detailed.
WiFi was smooth.
GRUB was the Boot Loader I selected.
rFind was there.
Gnome was the Desktop I requested. Awesome and IceWM were added.
Added Blender as a teaser for MANJARO.
378310 Files in Total.
Calamares is the onstaller.
I forgot to time the Installation.
XFCE4 is the base.
It is removing XFCE for GNOME.
It failed.
I would try it with XFCE only and would drop Blender, too.
Log in as liveuser without a password.

Installation failed twice.
I am installing default offline installation.
I sacrificed the EFI and enlarged it to 2GB as requested and it failed for the 7th time.

On the 8th time I clicked SystemD init knowing very well Debian is SystemD Init.
GRUB Loader did not work in spite of EFI partition was increased up to 2 GB.
I had to install DEBIAN GNOME to get my System configured to boot 10 other distributions.
I might work this time.
Basi installation is OK.
It is the Boot Configuration which is failing.
By the way, I clicked both XFCE and GNOME.

I would try it one more time offline and if it does not boot that is what would be added in my book on Linux.
Advice Do not try ArcoLinux.
This is the only distribution, of ARCH I failed to install in the recent past of 2 years.
