These days it's very small. Most people just wanna use Arch because it's cool.

While I do wholeheartedly think it's by far the best distro, I also frequently recommend Mint for newbies if they don't enjoy learning on their own.

In my case you can unironically blame Valve. I wanted an Arch-based distro to stay as close to SteamOS as possible but I have an nvidia GPU for the foreseeable future (unless I win the lottery or something).

Try CachyOS or just do like me and use their repo + kernel on Arch

Oh yeah that's what I'm using. Thanks though!
