The issue with Arch is that they have like no packages at all. You’re more or less forced to use the AUR. Which is not something I would recommend to anyone. Which is also why I don’t recommend Arch to anyone. :D
Unless something changed in a big way in the last few years, that’s not really true. When I was running arch, I had maybe a dozen AUR packages installed, none of which I would consider essential. And yes: I was one of those weirdos who would actually take a good look at the pkgbuild diff before installing an update.
