The main difference with Archlinux is that after you install, you have a
barebones command line system with a package manager. After that, you add what
YOU want, not what they think you want. :)
So a simple:
pacman -S xorg [gnome/kde/fluxbox/whatever]
Will get you X and a desktop environment of your choice in about 5 minutes or
less, depending on whether you install kde or fluxbox (big meta packaged
desktop environment compared to a very small lightweight window manager).

Looks like:
pacman -S sdl2
wants to install sdl2 and all it's dependencies. :)
pacman -Syu
updates your entire system.
pacman -Rsu
removes package(s) and it's dependencies as well as any unneeded packages (if
dependencies weren't removed but a package was at some point).
The list goes on.. But it's short and sweet and to the point. I don't have
anything on here that's not being used. :)
