I bet you haven’t used arch over a long period of time, using nvidia cards, and doing music production.

I’ve spent days fixing issues after updating my system.

Linux is great, but it has many pain points, as does windows.

I don’t really think either is strictly less finicky or painful than another as long as you’re willing to learn a bit.

If you’re not willing to learn a bit, windows is definitely was.

Linux will always be cooler though.



I feel like if you want an easy, mostly tinker-free Linux experience, you don't use something like Arch. You just install Ubuntu or Debian -- after doing your research and buying hardware that is well-supported -- and don't mess with things.


Nvidia and music yes, but not arch, because it is notorious for being very "DIY". I would have to do a lot more work if I used Arch, I agree
