I've been a Linux user since 1999 and recently got Arch up and running on a spare laptop just to see what it was all about. Not sure if my experience is typical but compared to my day-to-day Ubuntu system it was like going back in time 20 years. I'm sure some people enjoy the challenge (and the learning opportunity) but I've been spoilt now and already have too many hobbies as it is.
