    Nah, Arch is just hunting deep.

    Gentoo is masochism.

        Thanks for reminding that part of my brain to bully the other parts into doing LFS.

    “Minimalist”

    > installs KDE plasma

    We have different definitions of minimalist

      I probably would have gone with Xfce since this is mostly acting as a server but this was also my first real experiment to see if I could replace a Windows desktop with Linux so I wanted some more functionality in that regard.

        You should look into window managers such as dwl if you want a truly minimalist experience.

      Plasma used to be bloated, but now is very similar to XFCE in terms of resources, and if you don’t use Akonadi or Baloo, you get something even more minimal.

    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.
