I use Arch on my desktop PC. I love the flexibility and the way you can tinker with it, but I most certainly wouldn't use it on anything else. The flexibility and tinker-y-ness are kind of a double-edged sword, it's somewhat easy to break things and sometimes upkeep can be a bit of a hassle compared to other distros. I'm fine with this tradeoff on my desktop PC, I wouldn't really want it elsewhere.
