Hello!

I've bought new parts and I am awaiting their arrival so I can build my brand new computer. I've decided to go for Arch Linux with KDE plasma or perhaps Gnome as my desktop environment but that's as far as I've come.

I figured I would ask the community if they have any tips or suggestions, thanks!

If you are completely new to linux, you wanna consider other options than arch. Maybe a derivate like manjaro would be for you, if you really need to have arch. If other options are valid as well, i would go with linux mint or popOS. Or just plain Ubuntu.

Manjaro comes with a lot of bloat that I don't want on my system, that's why Arch sounds so interesting to me.

I shouldn't, but I'm going to…

Define "Bloat".

Seriously. What do you mean when you say "Bloat" and why is this an actual legitimate technological concern of yours?

(This comment has absolutely nothing to do with Manjaro, or any other distribution. It's got more to do with the use of the word "Bloat")
