Finally, after about one year of dual boot Win10/Mint>Kali>Debian I've finally decided to get rid of Windows.
So I've searched for a good lightweight not-too-old OS and Arch seemed like perfect.
I've installed it non-live with LXDE and now I'm getting used to it, but is it true that it improves the hardware performance? I mean, ofc you have to see if a game is GPU or CPU intensive, but I expected more.

No, not really. If you want performance gains you have to use Gentoo, although with modern hardware things will probably already be so fast you can't tell a difference between a package and compiling from source with custom flags.

compiling everything from source will get really annoying

You can squeeze out a little bit more out of your hardware if you don't use a bloated DE and avoid pointless eye candy like window compositors.

>So I've failed for the Arch meme
Oh boy, you've failed at much more than that.

Nah I'm tryin' to favour performance over graphics.

What do you mean by this?

kek

You can do the same with, say, a minimal Ubuntu install.
I'd argue the real advantage of Arch is its package management system. pacman and packer have legitimately simplified my life.

fucking get out

I'm not a big fan of apt as well. Pacman seems to be the best package manager out there.
