Question: is there a reason to use arch over something like kubuntu, or ubuntu? It seems like a difficult starting point (self.archlinux)

The Arch manual is extensive enough to help you along if your a little techsavvy, and with a full desktop like Gnome or KDE you get a easy enough experience once you have it installed. But yes installing is a little more work.. but in the end you get a more flexible system with a lot of options.. although there are more distro-options for that. Ubuntu and the likes is more plug and play though, although the archinstall script helps a lot
