After breaking my hard drive with Bazzite not understanding immutability and trying to bypass it with permissions changes,I switched to Garuda as a beginner. It's Arch based.
It has been easy, gaming just works, updates just work, it came with the drivers I need.
All this Arch hate needs to go away. It's not what it was. I haven't had to learn anything more complicated than Windows was.
There's no arch hate, it's just not a distribution for new users. Your downstream distribution might be a bit better at handling the arch quirks by default, but i guarantee you it doesn't go through the same testing that new Fedora solutions go through before new releases for example. I'm glad you found something that suited you, but for most people, people that will never try to bypass the immutability in the first place, Bazzite is better ootb.
Exactly! make it easy simple and the make them install Arch or any other distro.
