I do know that Arch Linux has no GUI. I had to install the ArchWiki Viewer on my Android phone and go by those instructions.

You literally have to look at the phone while you are building the system from scratch; piece by piece until you have something you can boot into.
Then you reboot and add the DE you want to use.
I just have Xfce and nothing else.
Then once you have a DE and a browser you can get further instructions here: Arch Linux Installation Guide. It can sense you have an UEFI system.
Which is basically what's on the wiki viewer.
Nothing is automatically installed without you doing it. So, you have only what you want to have.
I also do not have any display manager. I just boot into TTY1, login which starts X and the startxfce4 command and it's up and ready to go.
The beautiful thing about Arch Linux is that there is no version or cycle, it just keeps updating; manually of course to the most cutting edge things available.
Here is the current kernel:
Code:
[cavsfan@Le-Beast ~]$ uname -r
4.8.11-1-ARCH
There is a LTS kernel that you can choose to install and use plus there is a fallback to the main kernel and also the LTS kernel.
