Arch?
Go for PARABOLA instead (works with the AUR as well - or terribly, as Arch
does)! https://parabola.nu/
Anyway, regarding the DE (surely you mwant Budgie?) does trying to install it
to Debian via it Ubuntu PPA work (it might - that's how I installed Abrowser
on Debian!)?
@JadedCtrl I don't know about whether whether (s)he should start a distro
since something like "for the bloody sake of it" is (in my opinion) a
perfectly valid reason, so who are we to really judge on that? :)
(A problem wih Arch/Parabola as a base is that you'll probably need to update
the ISO more often than if you base the distro on Debian Stable instead)
