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. :)

Regards,
Nick
