It’s really not as tough as it’s made out, try something like Endeavour for all the “Arch” but with some sane defaults. The hardest thing is learning a new package manager, but Arch’s is called pacman and it looks like Pac-Man, so you get extra whimsy!
I mean, Debian and Ubuntu are very different beasts, but I’ve never had a problem with any of my Endeavour machines except for the nagging itch in the back of my head that said, “it’s not real Arch” lol. The biggest difference from an Ubuntu or Mint is that you have to update more often, and you shouldn’t do it from a GUI so you’ll have to see the terminal every so often. I’d say it’s just about the same as Debian, just that Arch-based distros focus on performance, while Debian-based ones focus on stability. So I use Debian for my servers and Arch for my gaming/music making rigs.
Could a similar meme be made between distributions?
Arch users switching back to Arch after 10 minutes of using Ubuntu:
Alternatively:
Ubuntu users switching back to Ubuntu after using Arch for ten minutes
Or at the very least Debian.
I haven’t tried Arch, the whole idea gives me fever.

Be honest: Is the user experience as easy as Debian’s or Ubuntu’s is?

Anyone after trying Ubuntu. Anyone after trying a tiling manager.
For me, it’s after trying a non tiling WM. I’m too deep into i3 (now Sway) + tmux.
I like the idea of tiling window managers – I just find it so much less hassle to use tiling keybinds on a stacking window manager …
I can do the exact same thing in gnome without having to config for days lol. Super key right super up. I agree with you!

Me when coming back to a system without NetworkManager
systemd-networkd
It would be the “Corporate needs you to find the difference” meme
