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?

    1. Because I like to. 2. Because it still has the best flexibility for packages. 3. I like using cutting edge releases.

    It is also extremely overblown just how “hard” arch is. Either way I know a lot more about my system and how it functions now.
