I just gave up today trying to install arch on my new-ish '13 laptop because of a UEFI debacle. The instructions were not clear about how to install the bootloader and UEFI partition.

At one point it says make a fat32 partition, but after that it never says what to do with it, or where to mount it. The instructions don't go in series, each section is its own novel, with branches at each level.

earlier, it says "pick one of these 3 UEFI bootloaders" but never follows up with how to make each one work.

I'm in no way whatsoever afraid of the command line (I run ubuntu every day ), but man I wish it had a graphical or at least curses-based installer. linux mint installs in under 3 minutes, including UEFI and full-disk encryption.
