In addition to what has been mentioned already, Garuda is an Arch derivative where convenience is the whole point. No install scripts, just your usual live ISO with a Calamares installer plus a bunch of convenience utilities once you're set up.

It's not exactly lightweight by default but it does make for a very comfortable Arch experience.

Garuda was actually my first distro. Smooth as butter lol I still remember thinking why are there 3 different version.
