after i did such a harm to myself (installing arch), now i use windows 11
If you want the best of both worlds, go for EndeavourOS, an arch based distro.
Pretty chill GUI installer, only comes with the basic stuff and what you choose in the installer, like the desktop environment.
A few clicks and you have a functional arch install with everything setup.
The CLI installer was not a problem. The problem is complete lack of stability, inability to use software like AutoCAD, Inventor or CorelDRAW, and wasting hours of short life for configuration of things, about which you just do not need to think on Windows. Anyway, the least useless distro I found is MX Linux, but after few years with experimenting with Linux, I happily went back to Windows.

Fredom to what? To wasting time on configuration of every basic functionality of my computer?
