Arch linux has a package, aside from any arch directly installed
individualized texlive packages, that just installs the texlive network
install script, and directs the user to run the script that is located in
/opt .
This piece of magic is "texlive-installer", available in the Arch Users
Repository (AUR), makes it easier to use texlive from upstream sources, by
doing the necessary work of handling dependencies. Debian based distros
require to install a dummy package to accomplish this, and some kind of
tweaking may be necessary on other distros. Once AUR is set up, I have run
"yay -S texlive-installer" or one may use other AUR helpers. I think it's
not possible to install this with pacman.
As far as this problem of the OP, I cannot help.

[Fill in the blanks]
The use of corrupt manipulations and blatant rhetorical ploys ...---
outright lying, flagwaving, personal attacks, setting up phony
alternatives, misdirection, jargon-mongering, evading key issues, feigning
disinterested objectivity, willful misunderstanding of other points of
view---suggests that ... lacks both credibility and evidence.
