(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).


I want to, I’ve used arch in the past for a bit, then bazzite and then cachyos.
I want to go back to arch and set it up manually following a guide just to get more familiar with it, I just haven’t had the time right now and cachyos has been working great
