I finally found an Arch-based Linux distro even newbies can run

There are three features of StormOS that had me hooked right away. The first feature was the updates. A minute or so after I logged in for the first time, I was alerted to updates. I clicked Install, and the update began. This is how updates on Linux should be: painless and quick. The package manager GUI is none other than Pamac, but StormOS gives it a theme that makes it look a bit more modern than other Arch-based distributions I've tried.
