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?
It’s not really trouble. I use it since 2012 with a few intermediate installs of Debian and Fedora, but I really don’t have many issues I can’t solve in a few minutes. Rolling release means I never have to do huge upgrades.
Then again, I’m a studied CS expert with 20 years of Linux experience. Wouldn’t recommend Arch to people who don’t want to exactly know how their system works.
