      I think reality lies somewhere in the middle. Yes you have to read and yes you have to configure things but the docs are all on the wiki. There’s a point where this is easier than figuring out how to undo the defaults on, say, Ubuntu and do your own thing without official documentation on it.

      It took me a few hours as a noob to be honest. I can understand not wanting to do that though. It’s totally fair. The ArchInstall and the ArchWiki essentials made it fast.

      Personally, didn’t have to configure every last detail, since I installed Gnome and most stuff comes with it out of the box. If you’re going with Sway or Hyprland tho… ye you will have to configure detail by detail.
