Once you're a bit familiar with linux, arch becomes much more user friendly due to the Arch wiki and it's wide coverage of topics. Knowing exactly what packages I need to use my Intel card to render with Blender is very handy. If you use a distro like EndeavorOS, you don't even have to do any special setup: it installs like any other distro.

Oh, I'm keenly aware! I'm running vanilla arch on my laptop right now, and planning to migrate my desktop this year, I'm just pleasantly surprised how many have been willing to take the plunge

I feel like people discount just how useful a good wiki is. Especially on "how to" topics. It makes it better for the specifics of gaming just due to people testing and documenting it.
