For me the issue with Just Works distributions is that I actually spend more time reconfiguring all the parts than if I do it by myself from the ground up. In my opinion, Arch has the perfect balance between things just working and allowing you to decide whatever you want ro use.
I just recently bought a new laptop that I had set up within a day. A lot of that time was spent playing around with various hidpi settings, though.
And it certainly helps that I have most of my configurations in my dotfiles repo (including media key bindings).
- patrickbolle 11y agoI agree with your idea of configuring stuff to an extent I'm a recent switcher to Arch and love it so far, but on my other laptop I use a Debian minimal install with i3wm and all my manually installed programs, and I find it is that fine line between easy to use (installing, drivers, etc) and manual configuration. I love Arch, but Debian min install will always have a place in my heart for getting set up easily while still being extremely fast and custom.
