Major differences,

1. Systemd - totally worth learning.
2. Diff config files
3. Pacman
4. File system is a bit different, there is no /bin now etc.
5. Netctl for networking?

Blame your desktop env, cinnamon for that ;) I will see how this is done
and get back in a while.

Do you even have a GUI for pacman? Anyway pacman -S package_name works
perfectly fine.

I used debian sid for ages before moving to arch. I prefer bleeding edge
and the ultimate customizations that comes with arch for my desktop and
Debian for my servers. Diff distributions teach you diff things and I
certainly hope you will like arch.
