I just finished installing Arch Linux using the Archinstall script, but I'm really confused about what to do next. I'm at a terminal after logging in, and I have no idea how to start using Arch Linux from here. Can someone guide me on how to run Arch Linux or set it up from this terminal?

If you're new to Arch, you might've missed setting up a profile during the Archinstall process. It's important to select one for a smoother experience. Also, be careful with tutorials; some might be outdated and don't mention the necessary profiles. Stick to the official wiki for the most accurate info!
You're actually already in Arch Linux! Keep in mind that it's pretty minimal out of the box, so it doesn't come with any graphical user interface (GUI) like X11 or Wayland. If you want an easier setup with a GUI, consider trying a user-friendly version like EndeavourOS. It comes with a desktop environment pre-installed, which makes the experience smoother for newcomers.
Just a thought: have you considered trying out something like Linux Mint or CachyOS? They can be easier to manage for beginners compared to using Arch directly. If you still want to stick with Arch, check out this video that might help you get it working: [Video Link](https://youtu.be/ve0qcdpNOyQ?si=wKW6NQD0IfOXS-5T)
