First Linux distro i ever installed was Arch. I failed about 20 times. Once i finally got it working i cried tears of joy. T'was a good day. Also it was because of Windows 10 aswell XD. Pacman for life.

Yeah but even so, the bloat is like an extra gig or two and can be removed.
And the install is still small enough where a little bloat is not gonna kill you.
I may have done something wrong but last time I installed openSUSE the install was 4.2 gig compared with 1. something for buntu and 600 M for Arch
You can choose what packages are intalled during the installer. You don't have to have a a GUI if you choose not to.
Suse Studio allows to custom roll your own Suse image similar to Arch but it has a GUI to do it in.
