It really is less imposing than it sounds.
As long as you have a working knowledge of the command line, anyon can do it.
You just partition the hard drive (Protip: lots of people cheat and partition from a Ubuntu LiveUSB to use the gparted GUI
), install the "base" group of packages, run grub-install to set up the bootloader (or syslinux or efibootmgr if you choose), then edit the text files which contain your hostname, locale, keyboard, etc.
Reboot, add a regular user, choose your DE...
Most of this stuff is just filling out information via the command line rather than in a GUI installer.
