So grab gnome, pusbullet, a dock, paper theme, powerline and maybe play on linux, profit?

Yea but honestly, every time I try to configure Gnome the way I need it, I get frustrated and give up (ha). I just don't have the time, and this distro looks good right out of the box. I'd be someone who tries this in a VM and honestly, I'd consider switching off Ubuntu and maybe donating to them. I don't know the size of this group of people but it could also include Windows/OSX users in the same boat.

Arch is becoming more and more a foundation distro.

Yes and this is great. I have felt Ubuntu to be way too bloated ( last time I checked it had many python scripts running by default on startup ) and Debian is hard to use on the desktop ( "stable" is too slow, "testing" is too unstable ).

Arch will make a better foundation distro IMO.

I'm not even sure if the PushBullet license lets them do that.

https://github.com/agajews/ApricityOS - binaries in source control, sigh.

Edit: Looks like it could be profitable - I wonder how much of this makes it back to Arch: https://github.com/agajews/ApricityOS/blob/master/PATRONS
