    Arch is actually reasonable as the foundation of an easy to use Linux OS, provided you don’t care about stability. It’s up to date with all the latest stuff, has support for many apps and packages without having to add extra repos, and it has fantastic documentation. All that’s really missing is the GUI installer and stuff to help newbies. Projects like EndeavorOS and Garuda provide that.

    If you actually need stability though, which lots of new users would appreciate, use Fedora or a derivative like Nobara or Universal Blue.

    I daily drive Nvidia plus Optimus with wayland, but it’s easy enough to switch back to X11 just using a menu on the login screen.

      Glad to hear it hopefully won’t break. I just personally recommend Debian, because it’s the only one I haven’t managed to break. Though now I will ask those interested in switching “Do you have nvidia” first lol.
