    I don’t really get the hype? I’m using arch myself and all I can find online is that it’s suppose to be more secure. More secure in what way?

        But is it actually faster? Is it better for my use case (AI, Gaming, programming)?

          It is amazingly resource-friendly and its SMP is being optimized.

          No, for speed and/or gaming, I’d recommend DragonFly BSD (or FreeBSD which has a built-in Linux emulator that could - in theory - run Steam). For development, however, the BSDs are generally quite friendly. Note that the BSDs usually use Clang and a POSIX shell (or tcsh) instead of GCC and bash, so you won’t have GNUisms by default.
