PS. This is not a critique to Debian-based distros. And i’m not suggesting you to skip Ubintu for Arch either. Arch is a bit advanced and not too easy to new users, so that won’t do for some people…
… just install Linux Mint instead.

it does feel package installs are much faster on arch than on Debian. Then again, Debian probably has a bunch of precautionary steps when installing a package, such as checking for dependencies/dependency conflicts and verifying the package has been installed without error.
that said this is all true, your desktop environment uses a lot of memory gnome uses something along the lines of 1GB and same goes witu KDE. I’ve optimized my memory usage very well with mangoWM, on idle it uses like 600 MB. My browser uses more memory than my entire OS.
