I’m guessing you are installing through the archinstall script?
I haven’t used it in a while but if you want to simplify your install I would just choose a Desktop Enviroment (since you are asking this question I think it would be best for you or practice your install in VM til you know what you want)

I guess you already checked the wiki regarding display servers ?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/General_recommendations#Display_server

Also, I dunno the final goal here, but why don’t you install endeavourOS ? :enos: :enos_flag: :rocketa_purple:
