this forum is only for questions? if so sorry my bad also I'm not a internet troll despite the name I'm getting my name changed on this website hope you understand that.
Do you actually like Arch or are you running Arch because of the meme, to me it seems the latter since you are throwing around the mean like it's Redd it here. Whatever works for you but this ain't Reddit. Also welcome to the forums!
I don't know too many folks that are concerned with deliberately using what are considered to be the "awkward" distros JUST because they consider it gives them better standing in the community. Most folks just want summat that's easy-to-use & doesn't take too much in the way of "hand-holding".
And that's why distros like the 'buntus - including 'flavours' - and Mint will always be as popular as they are.
(And then you have the masochists, like me.....who run stuff like 'Puppy' Linux!)

I used Mint for about 3 months, then tried Arch. I've been using it ever since. I just loved how it didn't come with a bunch of stuff I don't need. The installation wad straightforward; anyone who can follow instructions can do it.
I was the type who would go in after fresh install of Windows and uninstall as much adware, bloat, and whatever else I didn't need. So I just loved how clean Arch felt.
I don't consider Arch "awkward" at all. But I don't brag about using Arch any more than I brag about my coffee maker (though it IS a nice one )
I recently got Gentoo working on the same same system. I'm still fiddling with it to get all the setting right and still getting used to portage, but I enjoy doing it and making it mine.
Different goats for different folks, I guess.
