Minimalist and Linux noob, but also a masochist so I installed Arch. (sh.itjust.works)

Until now the easiest experience for me I actually had was Arch. You have to do everything yourself but i found it way easier to fix things in Arch than in any other distro I used.

Somewhere I read that it didn't have an installer which turned me off for a while, and then I realized that you just need to "archinstall" from the live ISO and I was off and running in minutes.

Wish I had this information last night. Would have saved me like 3 hours.

I think its because you learn the system & tools upfront as you need them. On other systems you end up treating it like a black box until it breaks, then you need to research and discover the cause of the breakage and learn the tool while the system is in a broken state.
