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).

LOL COSMIC is so not ready for a 1.0, honestly it is cursed ATM. System76 needed to leave that cake in the oven and let it bake longer! However, I do appreciate the direction that COSMIC is going, it just needs more time.
