If you follow the official guide, you can install base Arch in 20 minutes tops. Pulling the metapackage for a DE like KDE, Xfce or GNOME is just a single command after that, and at that point you've got a perfectly functional desktop. Everything after that is customization. It does not take "several hours" to set up.

    I'm speaking for someone with only basic experience with Linux and consider troubleshooting and day 1 customization as part of install.

    Since all the distros OP has experience with are graphical install i stand by my statement.

    You are entirely correct for the case of a highly experienced Linux power user.
