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?
Newer software is nice, it’s not too much trouble.
It’s a some “trouble” to install, but it’s worth it. I spend like 2-3 days getting every little thing the way I like and then I’m set for basically the life of the hardware.
That’s true for any OS install I do for myself though :)
