*nix, not only Arch, that try to stay close to the KISS principle, keep it simple, stupid! You only need to make a few notes by hand, or print a few pages of a handbook, resp. use a handbook with a PDF reader. If you install a *nix by an installer that will do everything automatically, you need to remove tons of services etc. [1] and if the installer only provides a minimal system, you need to install services, X/Wayland etc.. The work theoretically will be equal, in practise it's less work to install what's missing, than to find out what is installed and could cause trouble, regarding to the usage. [1] Sure, you even can install an Ubuntu and keep everything that automatically was installed. But this would be like using bad medicine, such as cold medicine, that comes with sedatives and uppers in the same pill. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
