Question: is there a reason to use arch over something like kubuntu, or ubuntu? It seems like a difficult starting point (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Seems like you answered your own question. Arch is not for people who want something that works out of box. If you want a GUI, suspend on lid close, sleep on idle, etc. by default, don't do Arch. You have to be prepared to debug issues, configure lower level OS features, and read a lot through the wiki and web searches of you are going to use Arch.
