Users of Arch-based distros, why don't you use pure Arch? (ani.social)

(No provocation)

I see these reasons:

newbie
lazy (don't wanna edit config files etc.)
unique features (like assistant/toolbox, some optimizations like in cachyos)
wanna check how different systems are set up (that's rather distrohopping)

Personally, I used manjaro i3 when I was beigginer and wanted to see how tiling WM should be configured (check out ranger config, for example). But after some time, I don't see reasons why not to just customize pure arch (same with debian and debian-based distros).

Ah, neat. I assume it had early support since you compile the packages yourself?

And tell me if you will: was it every common that a build had failed when you woke up? 😅 Or maybe builds didn't really fail? How common was that?

Builds failing was pretty rare for me but I didn't customize the compile options much beyond AMD64 optimizations.

I see, thanks Al!
