I recently got a system w/ a gtx580 that would be running the gpu 24/7. Was excited to try arch as I had heard a lot of good things about it and thought I liked the cut of their jib.
4 hours into install, I realized how much Ubuntu had spoiled me and remembered installing Linux for the first time as a kid and how confusing setting up X had been. I also remembered I had stuff to do so I installed Debian and called it a day. Cuda and nvidia drivers are frustrating enough, figured I'd pick my battles.
I suppose I liked the idea of arch much more than the practice.
