Dunno why are people spreading this myth... Arch is not that hard to install and you don't get a gold medal for installing it. I installed it with LXDE in an office machine, it only took me an hour.

I just use any basic/default terminal. For SSH I prefer to automate tasks like entering passwords, proxying/port forwarding, jumping over gateway servers, ... using shell scripts.

Sadly "Wine is not a container" doesn't make for a good acronym.
