it's like making the car audio play wind whooshing noises when accelerating to make it feel faster.

FYI, if you use code format instead of the quote, the entire text in the box is displayed in one line, so people reading it have to scroll the tiny box horizontally - and in my case when I'm trying to do that on desktop, the scroll bar obscures most of the text:

with quote formatting the text wraps lines when necessary:

This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

they offer some optimisations to the kernel and the packages that are supposed to yield a tiny bit better performance.

an incredibly small thing that rubs me the wrong way more than it probably should about their setup is that they set Plasma animation speeds to much higher values than the stock Plasma desktop uses. sure, it could be just a part of their customisation tweaks the same way using fish as the default shell is, but it feels like a cheap trick to reel in the "I installed it on my desktop and it's soooo much snappier" review kind of people. like, if your work is as good as you claim, you shouldn't need to artificially make the improvements seem bigger than they really are.

Arch is also just objectively better then every other option again if your goal is first and foremost gaming. Because it has by far and away the best support for new hardware and nearly every third party community tool for every game ever is on the AUR and every gaming community with modders ONLY support arch basically because of it.

EndeavourOS uses Arch's repos first and foremost, with additional stuff from their own repos on top of that, so it gets both the new hardware support you're praising, as well as AUR, and on top of that it's easier to install and maintain.

I don't think Loops counts, it's not federated yet.
