Eh, IDK. The Arch and Ubuntu experience are very far apart for me, especially as far as hardware support goes (beyond just kernel drivers, I mean - lots of devices need userland utilities to support their functionality, things like remote scanning for instance). They are different OSes that happen to share a kernel, but that's it. Even the userland close to the kernel can be very different.

They all run the same software more or less. Once you've used a few dozen different Linux distros, which I have over the 20 years I've used Linux for things, you find that almost all of them are basically the same. Occasionally there's an outlier like Gobolinux or Rox that everyone ignores but even they still has most software in common.
