I've been using Antergos for years now. It's a great way to get Arch on a machine.

I just replaced my GPU today. I ran `sudo pacman -S nvidia`, rebooted, and I was good to go.

As an aside: Arch isn't as "bleeding edge" as some people would have you believe. They have a testing repository, so packages get vetted before making it into the main package repositories. They often wait for a point-release of some software (like Gnome Shell) to help ensure that only stable versions make it in.

Plus, the Arch wiki is the most useful Linux resource I've found. I reference it even when I'm using an Ubuntu machine.

Hardware support is pretty solid, since the kernel, like all packages, is fairly up to date. There's also an option to install proprietary GPU drivers out of the box. And when reinstalling an old ThinkPad, it was also the only distro among the few I had handy that actually came with the correct Intel wifi firmware so I could, you know, install. Two thumbs up for Antergos.

Antergos is not a standalone distro though. Its just an installer for Arch.

nope but install of antergos is always borked in some way. Its actually faster to install arch linux from the command line and fairly easy anyway.
