-
Arch Nvidia drivers are always new, but not too new.
-
Nvidia support is from upstream arch, so no middleman screwing that up. Though it conveniently includes precompiled kernel modules for all the custom kernels so you don’t need to mess with dkms.
-
Easy scheduler switching! I highly recommend scx_cosmos
-
Natively compiled packages for Zen4+, and mostly native AVX for other CPUs.
-
Git proton right in the packages, no need to break shit going out to the AUR or messing with system packages.
And that’s just what I know. Every time I dig into some preconfigured thing, I’m pleasantly surprised it’s that way and I don’t have to mess with it, while at the same time it doesn’t diverge from Arch for the sake of it and break stuff like Manjaro.
I switched at least 3 years ago (can’t even remember now), and haven’t switched since. I haven’t even wiped the paritition, it just keeps working with little fuss…
Anandtech had a great saying:
Performance wise, Intel CPUs were just fine at the right price, no matter what manufacturing drama is going on. Don’t get me wrong, all my recent CPU purchases have been AMD, but not because of brand loyalty or anything; it’s because they were on sale and great for the price.
