>>23521840full customization at every level which matters, no more & no less (artix for your choice of boot system, everything else is the same as arch).
one of the simplest, most predictable, yet most versatile package managers.
something like ubuntu might not let you change/customize things you want/NEED to change, at which point you're screwed
something like gentoo might take hours to customize, and more hours spent fixing the regular obscure errors
i think arch strikes a sane balance between those two, and for that reason "just werks" better than other distros overall
