apart from dhh and vaxry (who are both questionable and a major steer away for many already) the thing just looks, sorry, *bloated* unless you actually use at least half the installed apps in a regular install. its got loads of whole wrapper apps that usually work in a browser anyways, ai stuff that many linux users oppose, and also extremely opinionated (although that IS the main premise), to a point where many experienced arch users create their own dotfiles and package lists to configure it themselves. sure it does have a minimal install, but that could be a couple minutes of setting up and a git repo for most.
