  • Distro (first-level comment)
    • Reason (one answer)

    • Packages are kept up to date so it’s often the first distro to support new hardware, APIs, etc.
    • AUR provides a huge library of software that isn’t often in package manager repos.
    • Rolling release so you don’t have to deal with repository upgrades every 6 months to 2 years.
