I have anecdotal evidence that many people moved from Debian to ArchLinix over the last 5..10 years. ArchLinux is the unassuming kind of distro that gives way

  One such user. Switched to Arch almost a decade ago (from Ubuntu->Mint->PopOS), and now on Asahi Linux (which is just ArchARM with a small overlay of 15-20 driver/kernel packages).

    I have a M1 mac. How frustrating is Asahi compared to macos? I love me some linux but hate the driver fiddling

      Here's an draft of my upcoming review: https://hackmd.io/@captn3m0/ByWpMgZho https://hackmd.io/@captn3m0/ByWpMgZho. tl;dr: Asahi works great on Apple Silicon. There’s a small collection of software (like Widevine/Zig) that isn’t available on Asahi/ARM64, and some important features that are still in progress (Speakers/Webcam/Mic/External Monitors). GPU and Sleep support is still experimental, but the device is usable enough for me (No critical showstoppers so far).

  Steam's platform survey would agree with you. Ubuntu share has been decreasing steadily over the years while Arch/Manjaro has gone up (not even counting Steam Deck) I am one of them, having switched from Ubuntu to Arch two or so years ago due to frustrations with the platform. Arch is a bit more hands on, especially at first install, but it has solved all my complaints from Ubuntu. If OP is interested, I would recommend looking at EndeavourOS, which is probably the most friendly way to get into the Arch ecosystem, without it getting in the way.
