To learn.

  > To learn. Learn what? How to get the basic functionality working? So that when when you are installing Arch, you would know how to do it? Sounds perfectly reasonable, I guess. P.S. I've been using Linux since the '90s. Configured X, etc. a bunch of times. You know what I've learned? That it's stupid when the computer can't do it for you. Not all "learning" is created equal.

    Learn how Linux works. Configuring X and audio is a part of that. If one is not interested in doing such things, then Arch or any other similar OS would obviously not be the right choice.

      > Learn how Linux works. If that's your goal, you may be better off learning C or Assembly (since you are coming from PHP)
