This is because the average arch user does not enjoy their experience. The average enjoyer is so far beyond a mere "user" when it comes to self-flaggelation

Actually most people that stick with arch enjoy it very much. At least among people I know.

Shit. On one hand, I don't feel like distro hopping, on the other hand it looks just perfect…

I will not be tempted to distro hop. I'm perfectly content on my flavor of Arch. (˶˃⤙˂˶)

For me, Arch "just works"™. Rarely when I stumble into an arch-related issue, a quick five minute search is all I need if I don't already know the fix for the issue.

I tried arch as a daily driver many many years ago, it was a great learning experience, but maintaining that system wasn't worth it.

I use it in distrobox daily though. Rolling distros work really nicely for doing dev work through distrobox on an otherwise immutable system

Tbf, you can totally modify your setup to look like anything. That's the beauty of Arch: cutting-edge and minimal.

It's possible to modify your current setup, might just take a little time and effort.

I played around with Mint, Fedora, Debian (Raspbian, really) and Zorin casually when I was still a Windows user. Arch was my first daily driver after switching cold turkey some three years ago, and I've been pretty happy with it.

I did something similar in 2010 barely understanding what am I doing. Feel good about that decision to this day.

Basically I can. But if I do it on my own, it looks like a stitched together Frankensteinian monster.
