Hello friends, wanting to try arch without the 'arch way' install. Which is best way to go? Also which DE is best DE?
Install Linux from scratch, then install gentoo. Installing Arch will now be very simple.

Arch Anywhere with Gnome. Gnome because, for whatever reason, it has become the poster child for Linux and tends to just work.

Gnome 3?
architect
First arch install sucks balls.
Load up something like ubuntu on a live USB. Follow the steps from the beginners guide with the full access of the internet.

The fact that you relate this to the architect is sad

Use I3, although not a desktop environment, just a WM. It takes some time to learn and configure but it is perfect.

Yes.

No man, using mouse for GUI tasks makes more sense
