Question: is there a reason to use arch over something like kubuntu, or ubuntu? It seems like a difficult starting point (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

If you just want to fire up your system with arguably sane defaults and use it, no there really isn't. Where Arch shines is in providing a mostly blank slate for people with opinions about how their system should be set up. It provides the tools and documentation then mostly stays out of the admin's way.
