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?
I boot my laptop. it takes seconds, the memory footprint is like 600mb
With sway everything feels snappy and insanely responsive.
I haven’t had any issues with arch on my laptop for like 5 years now.
Why would I use anything else ?
