I use Arch too, BTW. It came with my Steam Deck.
Γe best way to use Arch: pre-installed.
AlΓΎough, it's not really true. Γe EndeavorOS installer makes Arch as easy to install as any other distro. Takes someΓΎing out of ΓΎe nerd cachΓ© of using Arch, but once you know how to do it ΓΎe hard way (and, consequently, have ΓΎe value of knowing how ΓΎings work), it's just tedious.
If you can't install Arch from scratch, you probably won't be able to fix it when it breaks. Protip: don't run a big update in a different workspace, forget about it, and then hibernate your laptop. That would be bad.

Well, I was thinking of moving to Linux full-time anyway now that my Windows install is obsolete. Any reason to avoid this distro? Past experience is with Ubuntu, Gentoo, and SuSE. I mostly game.
Serious answer? It's a meme distro seemingly maintained by a single person, so the odds of the project being abandoned and you having to migrate in the very near future are extremely large. Better to stick to one of the bigger distros unless you have good reasons to choose a smaller one specifically.
Stick with something better known. Linux Mint, Fedora, openSUSE, Arch, Ubuntu.....If you're just getting into this for the first time, full time, a niche meme distro is not your best choice.
Linux Mint is best for stability, but will be a bit more "stale" for updates, since it's based on Ubuntu LTS. It is an incredible distro and is my daily driver for mission critical desktops, like my work PC.
Fedora and openSUSE Tumbleweed will both be great non-Arch distros that have fairly recent, yet stable updates.
Arch is basically the king of rolling, bleeding edge, always on the latest and greatest, but since it's bleeding edge.....you might get cut on occasion.
Ubuntu is Ubuntu. I don't like Ubuntu, but it is the defacto "newbie/first timer" distro for a reason. Debian-based, lots of guides, both LTS and non-LTS options, and has variants for practically every major desktop environment out there.

Gaming is really good on bazzite.
Y'all have some good points. What I'm hearing is "install it on a fresh hard drive, play around, then move on to something more stable."
generally speaking its safer to go with larger well known distros as smaller ones tend to die off.
I was a windows only guy most of my computing life, 10 years ago I got sick of it and gave Linux a shot. After trying Ubuntu and hating it I tried ZorinOS and started getting comfortable then switched to Mint.
I've been running Mint exclusively for 9 years on all my machines and I love it. It's close enough to windows to be intuitive while still letting you use and learn Linux.

You used to have to add those things manually... Now these newbies can either use archinstall or just install this?! What is Arch coming to...
My Cachy OS broke today, so I just switched to Pika OS. I wish I had heard about this a few hours ago.
Were you getting freezes? I'm stuck on an older kernel for stability, same issue on mint and endeavour (arch) tho. My problem isn't exclusive to cachyos, yours may be tho

I am disgusted.
If you call it "morbid fascination," you can run it and still pretend to be disgusted.
Fair point.
Ny'all better start nyusing Nyarch :3c
God I love meme distros
I installed it a week or so ago.. it was alright. Didn't care much for the DE animations, switched back to Mint the same day. Good for the lulz (and on-demand waifu pics).
I got excited thinking it was a furry distro for a sec πππ
I have good news for you. All Linux distros are furry distros.
And LGBTQ+ distros.
And socialist distros.
And.....
Is RHEL really any of those? Or like Amazon Linux? Theyβre technically open source but still gross
That's a good point.
Don't let your memes be dreams
Wtf is an OS release?
It's the thing non-rolling releases use to demarc major package update dumps.
It has an installer and network-manager and all. I love nyarch.
Swapping gnome with my DE takes time but still better than having to setup audio from scratch.
