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?


I saw a gif about some cool hyprland dotfiles and i fell in love.
Instructions said it was designed for arch.
There are many more other reasons i stayed. Its great to actually feel in charge of my system.
Debian/ubuntu has its uses in server reliability but its missing snap for daily use.
Fedora is to close to corporate for my personal interest.
