Debian is not just as quick (significantly slower and higher resource usage), but Arch isn't all that fast nowadays, either.

Debian - or Devuan if you don't want systemd - can be made as spartan as you want. It boots in those mentioned few seconds on my 15yo T42p (Pentium [email protected], 2GB). Use Sid/Unstable if you want more up-to-date software with the accompanying larger flow of updates.

In which respects? Are you talking about apt vs pacman or something? Default DEs?

Default install; a default Debian install has about 3x running.
