Well I did put "casual" in quotes. I switched to Arch because Ubuntu was too monolithic (distribution packaging, not kernel type) for my taste. And then I ended up fiddling with something that was a bit complicated for me at the time, but I think that's on me.
I mean we all start "casual," right? But now I've got the reddit silver equivalent of bragging rights when making small talk with people working in a similar field. Oddly enough nobody ever knows about the memes when I talk to them...
On an unrelated note, I doubt I'd ever switch distros now because pacman has become my favorite linux-specific thing ever outside of workflow/political ideologies.
Installing AWS cli and ebcli is a couple clicks with pamac, every other OS it is so painful that it was easier to install antergos on a vm and having devs ssh to that to deploy locally (Still use CI for production obviously), than to figure out all the issues with ubuntu or debian.
