Ruben has indicated that there will be a graphical installer for Trisquel 8.0. I hope that Calamares could also be considered:

https://calamares.io

Calamares aims to provide a universal means of installing a variety of Operating Systems, so that one would not need to keep learning a new method every time switching from Parabola to Trisquel, for example.

I particularly like one feature in Calamares, which is used by Chakra GNU-Linux: The ability to simply and easily reuse a particular partition for the installation. (Chakra is non-free, but the beauty of this facility has to be seen!)

Please look at it and see what you think.

On the topic of installers, a half way between graphical and text based installer that is particularly user friendly is deployed by Arch-Anywhere:

Is anybody familiar with it?

I knew about Evo Lution, which provides a GUI installation for Arch

Ubuntu, and Trisquel, by default uses Ubiquity (similar to calamares), in fact Canonical is a contributor/dev of Calamares

Thanks, Megver83

I looked at the Alpha of Trisquel today. I tried a simple installation, and it worked well enough. I will try again, and check if i can find this functionality.

I hadn't heard of that spin of Arch, btw. Thanks again.
