Arch? From a windows user to Arch? Hope you like doing a whole bunch of terminal building Arch. Get to know chroot very well. Really learn how to edit config files. Yes you build arch your way but it's all manual and takes a long time. Even the install isn't all that easy. If one really wants to learn the inner workings of linux yes build Arch it's a really good way. If you don't like the looks of the desktop linuxlite uses you know it can be changed. I myself prefer fast and light so xfce is one of my favorites plus it's stable. You could try Mate. Instead of building Arch you could install ubuntu mini and pick whatever desktop you wish or as much of a desktop as you wish and you get bare bones with only software you choose. Linux has so many options. But what I found here at Linuxlite is a light fast OS with just a touch more than I would put in it. It still is small on the hard drive takes very little resources to run. It is very stable. Currently on the 2.8 Beta for the last few days and I have had no problems with it. Haven't even logged into 2.6.
