For anyone wanting a fork sans Hamburger Helper aka asshat, ArchRiot appears to be that. https://archriot.org
I couldn't get it to boot into a GUI when I tried it a month ago. I might give it another shot, but I'm probably going with a distro that's a glorified SteamOS desktop because I still don't think the Linux on a desktop is all there yet.
I have tried for over 30 years at this point, and I still haven't found what I'm looking for despite running it for years 😬
