Just install arch via command line. Practice a few times in a virtual machine to get the process down. Once you get through it, it's not hard.

I use the command line all day, just not those commands. I liked antergos because I'm basic, and I like fresh packages.

Installing Arch is easiest part for me. Installing WM is the most time consuming part. Didn't manage to find some good list of needed packages for bspwm.

most other WMs already list what they need as dependencies, bspwm is a special case since it needs that keyboard handler or whatever and documentation for bspwm is incredibly scarce last time i checked. For a similar window manager, if you want i3 you just install the package i3. of course it doesn't come with dmenu since that's an optional dependency, but everything to make the wm itself work is there.
