About a year and a half ago I got a laptop to prepare for moving countries. Figured “I’ll probably distro hop a bit see what I like so let’s start pretty plain with Arch”. I’ve uh never distro hopped, Arch my beloved, great daily driver does exactly what I tell it to
My issue with Arch is all the other stuff it installs when installing packages. It is annoying.
the dependencies? all distros have those, unless everything is statically compiled (bad idea) or you could potentially have less of them if you run gentoo and unset a lot of USE flags.
