  1. One problem/difficulty with Antergos is that you must be connected to the internet during installation, and you need sufficient bandwidth to download at least about a half a gig of packages and updates. If this is an obstacle, another excellent choice is Apricity, which is very slick, gives you a gnome or cinnamon desktop, and an Arch system ready to go.
