Arch is only for mid-level PCs.
What’s your argument for that?
I use nixos btw… Which isn’t better when hydra has been down for a whole week now
I think Arch’s forced OS updates and want you to run the latest(heavy?) softwares, similar to Windows.
What the actual heck are you talking about lol. Arch is quite minimal out of the box. Of course it’s your system, you can install whatever you want
You can just not update for weeks or months if that’s your thing. If there’s a thing arch doesn’t do is force things.
Not comfortable lol.
Sure ok, so back to you being “forced”, how?
What are you even talking about? There’s no such thing as “forced OS updates” on arch.
(heavy?)
And right there lies your misconception. Newer software is not heavier by definition. Quite the contrary it often gets more efficient because of constant optimisation and improvements.
The concept of newer software using up ressouces like crazy is the scam used by corporate OS’ so you buy new hardware constantly.
OpenSUSE Tumblweed is just rolling redhat with cleaner standards like Fedora.
Saying OpenSUSE Leap is better than rolling releases Arch is a dumb comparison because you can apply that logic to any decent release based distro.
Arch will always be first for bleeding edge which is its primary use case. It would make sense to compsre it to Tumbleweed which achieves the same thing without the artificial PITA “debloat” of Arch requiring you install basic GNU stuff manually but still shipping with a fat as hell systemd dependency.
It has the downside of less 3rd party packsge support though. You’ll likely find more in Arch and AUR than RPMFusion or COPR, especially for new stuff.
Leal and Fedora are cutting edge. Tumbleweed and Arch are bleeding edge.

I’m confused I thought SUSE and RHEL were unrelated branches of the distro tree?
They are unrelated, almost everything that this person written is wrong or uninformed. Suse uses modified rpm package manager, has their own (arguably better) user repo - OBS, both arch and opensuse aren’t more ‘bleeding edge’ then other - multiple other distros including fedora (actually fedora adopts newer tech at much faster pace and often updates packages faster). Nobody ‘debloats’ default Arch installation and it includes gnu coreutils by default, systemd isn’t a fat as hell dependency, etc. etc…
