ngl 90% of the average Computer Toucher™'s problems with desktop Linux come from trying to use Arch/NixOS/whatever as a daily driver

literally just use a normal distribution and 80% of your problems stop existing. anything not derived from Debian, Red Hat, or OpenSUSE is just a waste of your time.

I've used Ubuntu/Debian as a daily driver since I was like... ten?

I still don't really know how apt and dpkg work. I have no idea how to "use" systemd. PulseAudio/ALSA/JACK may as well be a black box to me. This has yet to be a real problem for me. I've never needed to intimately understand them. It just hasn't come up. They just work, or they don't work and you run apt -f install or log out and log in again and then they work again. it's fine. it's whatever. they just work. I feel like Linux doesn't get enough credit for that.

ive had the exact opposite experience, debian based distros are frustrating as hell and get in the way of my computer touching. i switched to arch because it Just Works and doesn't [ fall apart | put up an impenetrable wall ] if i look at it wrong

That's how I always chose a distro:

Do I want my PC to Just Work™? Debian. Maybe Fedora. Ubuntu can Fuck Off with its mandatory snaps.
Do I want to have "fun"? Rolling release (Void, Arch, Artix), or something else unorthodox (Gobo, Puppy, Silverblue, LFS).

Been a Linux user for about 10 years now, most of the time my main distro was Arch or (as of now) Artix.
Definitely has its upsides -- can customize almost everything you want, install latest versions of software almost immediately, AUR exists.
Definitely has downsides as well -- sometimes you have to configure stuff by youself, or it won't work or will work badly (looking at bluetooth), latest versions of software might conflict with other packages or not work at all.
I also have had times when after an update I was greeted with a kernel panic or with a "glibc not found" (update your rolling distros regularly kids).

Would I recommend using Arch/Artix as a daily driver to a person that just wants their PC to work? Fuck No.
