I have dabbled in Linux a bit in the past. Around 2005-ish I was messing around with Debian, Ubuntu and one other I can't remember the name of at the moment. It was more of a hobby and messing around with spare hardware I had sitting around.

Life happened and I ended up with only one available computer and just stuck with windows for convenience sake. Queue a decade and a bit later and the writing on the wall is that FOSS is going to be the only way to go so I am once again starting to dabble into the world of Linux.

Rad! Yeah Arch is definitely has the mentality of, "Why would I need all that swooping pictures stuff when this HTML file works just fine?"

I currently use EndeavourOS, basically arch with an installer, and it's been great for me because, with all it's 'simplicity' and conciseness, the arch community is really great for documentation. And the Arch User Repository is an amazing tool.
