Is Arch Linux better than Ubuntu?

Arch is designed for users who desire a do-it-yourself approach, whereas Ubuntu provides a preconfigured system. Arch presents a simpler design from the base installation onward, relying on the user to customize it to their own specific needs. Many Arch users have started on Ubuntu and eventually migrated to Arch.

Is Arch Linux the fastest?

Arch is still 7 or 8 seconds quicker on the draw — er, I mean, on the boot — and starting up XFCE is 3-4 seconds faster. Swiftfox is up and running a second or two faster in Arch.
