I mean, Debian and Ubuntu are very different beasts, but I’ve never had a problem with any of my Endeavour machines except for the nagging itch in the back of my head that said, “it’s not real Arch” lol. The biggest difference from an Ubuntu or Mint is that you have to update more often, and you shouldn’t do it from a GUI so you’ll have to see the terminal every so often. I’d say it’s just about the same as Debian, just that Arch-based distros focus on performance, while Debian-based ones focus on stability. So I use Debian for my servers and Arch for my gaming/music making rigs.
Be honest: Is the user experience as easy as Debian’s or Ubuntu’s is?
