It probably isn't with sufficient training. Taking a crack at it as a weekend project, it was non-trivial getting a decent i3 desktop up and running without a lot of cruft. Much of what you expect to just work, just doesn't. To be fair, I'm more native in debian or Arch to some degree, so that probably had a lot to do with my difficulties. Regardless, it made me give up and just practice better security practices for my debian installs until I have time to dedicate to a further investigation.
