I have installed and used archlinux for several years by now. I learned Unix on the job in 1990 before Linux and the first Linux distro I got installed and talking after a year of trying was Redhat 5.0 back when Staples sold it and Redhat 5.0 was hot. Other distros since then including Slackware and Debian and a few versions of Fedora and ubuntu. So this isn't my first rodeo. I don't consider archlinux the most complex install either. I reserve the most complex install for gentoo. I forgot to mention debuan vinux sonar-linux grml suse tumbleweed and antergos.
