I’m always interested in Micheal’s comparisons but rarely see anything more than an illustration of newer libraries etc showing natural improvements. The trade off of Arch distros is the increased workload of managing a constant change & inevitable instability. Arch devs are notoriously for kicking out capricious system borking changes and the Pacman package manager is rather weak at dealing with cumulative changes. 2% or 3 % potential ephemeral improvements in speed vs hovering over the cli ‘fixing’ things seems a poor bargain to me.
