The question wasn’t how happy users are with their distro, but in general. My theory is, people who have a lot of great things going on in their life (wife, kids, social life) don’t bother installing Arch.
Gentoo installation is time-consuming, but Gentoo maintenance usually isn’t. Just allocate portage a couple of cores while you do something else with the rest of the computer. Or leave the update to run overnight, if you’re on a potato.
Yeah, I just set it and forget it. Understand I started using Linux with a really new system and an Nvidia card so archlinux was just soo much easier than hacking away at a distro too old to support my hardware.
My system is older now but I’m just going to leave it on there because other distros kind of do things I don’t like, small things but still enough for me to stick with arch.

And people who have no time install gentoo? Pull the other one :D

How is that different from Arch other than being an actual PITA having to compile stuff?
I wonder if people using steam decks know they are running Arch.
I’m not sure if that’ll be good or bad.
Wow, no need to make this personal. /s
You’d be surprised.
