Antergos is an installer, and you can choose a DE during installation, or you can have no DE.
Whats the difference between an antergos system with no DE and a normal Arch install?
It has special antergos packagaes and repositories.
Its not as barebones basically.
Also has a GUI installer :D
So basically, if i want a system with easy installation but if i dont want the themes and icons that antergos adds, can i just install barebones with antergos and then, install a DE on my own, from the arch repositories?
It also seems like a couple of packages that are AUR in Arch are part of the official Antergos repo like compton.
And yes, I think you should be able to do that.
I opted for openbox on my antergos because DEs are overrated :v
And my arch is running i3
How's Arch going on for you? I have, until now, only used ubuntu based distros so im looking forward to Arch....

I really dislike Ubuntu. Arch has been wonderful. To be honest, I distro hop all the time (Ive tried most of everything ever) and arch has been my favourite so far. I need to try out Gentoo though
Just out of curiosity, why do you dislike ubuntu?
Hm...
Its mostly small things to be honest.
The Amazon search
The fact that it seems to be pretty heavy compared to others Ive used
Apt-get. Like really. I dont want to have to press tab twice or have to raise my fingers all the way to -
Software centre sucks and I wish it wasnt on my pc
Various other small things. Its just pettyness.
