ive finally settled on arch.

What are you, some kind of Linux prodigy?

arch is basic. It's just minimalise by default.

It has an amazing wiki, extremely active and helpful user forums, and an installer (i think now) or at least a massively helpfully customised shell for initial setup.

you can install arch and make it look like mint or whatever easily, then the only difference is pacman and the amazing AUR
