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?


Arch really isn’t very difficult to use these days for someone with a few years debian or similar use (don’t try and use it when first trying linux).
Installing it is straightforward, and you can access preferences via the settings app.
