Pro Compatible with Arch Repositories
It is fully compatible with almost all packages from community, extra, multilib and AUR.
Pro Rolling distro
Pro Flexibility
You can have a functional system in less than 10 mins using GUI installer OR you can do it "the Arch way".
Pro Debian based
Apt/Aptitude, debconf or the alternatives system.
Pro Updates are slow, but stable. It is based on Debian after all.
It uses Unstable per default so it is still some kind of stable since all dangerous packages are tested in experimental first.
Pro Secure Boot support
It supports secure boot which is great for LiveCDs and dual boot systems.
Cons
Con No systemd
Some packages flat out won't work because systemd is non existent, sadly pipewire needs systemd to run. Hopefully Pipewire becomes usable soon. Edit: Pipewire does work but you will have to make a startup script.
Con Few Arch packages might not be available yet
Developers are working migrating all packages into their own repositories while ensuring there's no systemd malware.
Con No tiling WM (i3/sway) out of the box
Con Hardware recognition is bad compared to Ubuntu.
Siduction won't install any non-free drivers by default.
