May be a mean sounding question, but I’m genuinely wondering why people would choose Arch/Endevour/whatever (NOT on steam hardware) over another all-in-one distro related to Fedora or Ubuntu. Is it shown that there are significant performance benefits to installing daemons and utilities à la carte? Is there something else I’m missing? Is it because arch users are enthusiasts that enjoy trying to optimize their system?
rolling release is a big plus for me, also the modularity and choice of what packages i want on my machine
it’s also not really any harder to use than any debian/ubuntu based distro i’ve used
in ~3 years since i’ve switched to arch i’ve only broken it once and it took 15 minutes to fix
