    You may have just sold me on Arch.

      Yeah, I love Arch for the same reasons. Try installing it in a VM and using it a bit, and you’ll see that it’s quite an easy OS to use now.

      Or use the installer script they have included for a year or more now and get to a working desktop in 20-30 minutes.

      But if you feel the need to trim down the scripted version, you can make it just a strong as the step-by-step install in a few hours.
