Ah, so long on my list to do this. But time is a luxury, and I'm also scared to fall into that rabbithole of endless tweaking (mental issue as someone said, not Arch problem). Mint serves me so well for years, it's hard to leave.
Update... Thank you for "wasting" last two days for me :) Accidentally I deleted my Mint root partition so it seemed a perfect timing to install Arch. Actually installation was a breeze. Configuring it (still) as much fun as I thought it will be. Installed both Cinnamon and i3, side by side, to test tiling WMs (really like i3 so far).
Only problem I see right now are AURs. Some stuff I'm used to is not available for pacman. And manual AUR installs for many is a nightmare with huge dependency trees. So far I'm avoiding those, but am afraid if I will be forced to do it in the future. AUR helpers seem great but not sure that's the point of Arch. I need to carefully check what I'm installing anyway, then upgrade process is different. Not sure. Still keeping Mint partition for emmergencies :)
