Three reasons:
    - Arch only does vanilla packages.
    - Arch is extremely up-to-date
    - Arch has a very small base

The vanilla packages mean we get a pure and unpatched GNOME. Arch
usually has a latency of two weeks for putting new GNOME versions in the
repos. This is lightning fast compared to Ubuntu or Fedora. Arch is also
extremely small. The entire vm uses 3GB. Plus the repos are surprisingly
vast, with the Arch User Repository comprising almost the entire corpus
of software that runs on linux. There is a fourth reason: I'm an arch
user. Take that for what it's worth.
