Yea that makes sense. I’ve been curious about Arch given how many resources there are for learning it. Weirdly enough I know two people who have tried it, one said it was the easiest setup they’ve ever done and the other said it bricked their laptop.
Most distros really aren’t too different fundamentally, so if you’re happy where you are there isn’t much reason to switch. It can be fun to swap just to see what’s different (and learn what differences are really just skin deep), but you don’t have to. Some distros have more big ideas behind them which can be interesting (like nixos) but mostly they all feel pretty similar.
As an Ubuntu weanie why should I swap?
Non rolling release distros for your desktop makes no sense.
it can get resource hungry but nothing even close to windows.
But as others said: Try another distro if you like to try new things - otherwise just use what works for you.

bricking a laptop with linux is incredibly unlikely.
Making the system unbootable so you need to boot from USB to fix it otoh… not so much.
If you want to try arch I recommend EndeavourOS. It’s as close as you can get to vanilla arch without doing all the compiling yourself.
It is okay, just us what you like. There is no need to change your distro just because others are
Ya for sure. Buuut I’m not afraid to hear some passionate opinions about things if anyone has them haha
There is nothing wrong with using Ubuntu if it works for you.

Don’t. It’s good.
I’ve been more of a Kubuntu guy in the past tho.

You don’t need too, Ubuntu is perfectly fine if it works for you.
If it works for you, you shouldn’t
I mean, you’re right.
But….
…… let’s be honest. There’s no reason not to try some variety.
(Yes I have usb keys of All the good ones…)
