I've only been on Linux about a year. I started with Bazzite and then switched to Garuda. Garuda is Arch based but has always been fast and easy, even with an Nvidia card.

Am I missing something? Arch seems fine.

    I'm pretty sure this is a joke about yay ("Yet Another Yogurt - An AUR Helper Written in Go"), when you have it installed you can just type yay into the terminal and update your system including all AUR packages.

    That makes total sense. I haven't dipped my toes into AUR, so I'm not surprised I missed it.

    You might be using the AUR and don't even know it. The Chaotic AUR repository might be enabled and i think it is enabled by default on garuda.

    The chaotic aur is a bunch of pre compiled versions of apps from the AUR. It doesn't have all the AUR packages but it has a bunch.

    You can check by looking for [chaotic- aur] in your /etc/pacman.conf file.

    grep "\[chaotic-aur]" /etc/pacman.conf

    If enabled pacman will handle those packages without the need for an aur helper like yay.

    People think it's 2016 when arch was a fucking mess and a prone to eat it self if you so much as looked at it wrong.

    You will find the general Linux community holds onto stereotypes and common wisdom for decades past when it's relevant, realistic or remotely accurate for a number of really random things. Distro stereotypes are one such example.
