Can you recommend me a setup for using Arch as a desktop? Eg: which UI should I install? Do things like sound, video, usb, etc work fine?

USB works by default. I'm not sure why people even ask this anymore. You will have to configure sound (easy, usually works by default) and video (not too bad these days) yourself. Keep in mind that the Arch Installation Framework (an ncurses-based installer) has been deprecated, as of earlier this year. That means you will have to follow the Installation Guide[0] to manually set up the system from a live command line, Gentoo-style. 0: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_Guide https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_Guide
