Just giggled as my last meme mentioned trouble with displays and appropriately, a large chunk of the replies were "well MY displays work just fine!" (And charmingly, many were thoughts of things to check, other distros etc. It's a very kind community, though that may also be the fediverse.)

This is Me. I had more problems on Bazzite and Debian, so I prefer Arch. It still breaks all the time and I still don't know what I'm doing, but at least sometimes it works.

    That's actually really surprising to me, bazzite is fairly plug and play, and Debian while slow to update is still very stable. What kind of issues were you running into?

    Bazzite would overtax the CPU and freeze a lot. Debian didn't like Proton 10 when Splitgate 2 first came out, and Splitgate 2 needs Proton 10 in order to use a mouse. With CachyOS, performance is better and I can install the newest graphics drivers.

    Try OpenSUSE Tumbleweed

    It's practically Arch minus elitist culture minus breaking all the time minus having to manually manage anything and everything. Also, it has properly set snapshots by default, so almost any screw-up can be reversed.

    No thanks, I love the elitist culture. I want to be expected to learn and get better over time, and I have been. I even learned how to enable snapshots.

    To each their own

    Overall, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed has all you need to practice in a safe environment and learn all the things you do with Arch. It just doesn't force you to do it when all you want is open a document :D

    I actually thought I was having issues with Debian. I was only getting like 6 - 8 updates when I tried to do them, even after a longer period of time. I kept searching around how to update Debian properly, but found no good answer.
    Then something like 2 months later there was a large number of updates at once. So it is working then, huh.
