Grats on Arch Linux install, S-tier distro for what it attempts to accomplish.

For some reason, the best word to describe it in my mind is "fun". Just fun to learn and play with, fun to install, fun to configure and customize, and fun to daily drive. Definitely not fun when a random package update breaks your system (looking at you grub), but that hardly ever happens anymore provided you don't enable the testing repo.

Also pacman is the fastest package manager I've ever used.
