    I wish I were you. I’m constantly running into problems that I either can’t solve, or end up spending way more time on than it’s probably worth. My last Geruda linux install became unbootable because I tried to change the system font to a different existant preset. The error I got, of course, only had 2 prior instances referenced on Le Google, both of which were in completely different contexts than mine such that either the recommended fix did not work, or I didn’t have the tools available to follow it.

    I’m still not switching back to Windows though because fuck 'em.

      I think your problem is you are using a niche Arch derivative that has a small user base. You should definitely consider using more mainstream distros so you can easily find the help you need until you are comfortable and feel confident with using Linux.

      I’d use a mainstream distro. I came to Linux in 2017, used Ubuntu for 4 years until I got tired of them forcing snaps down my throat, and then went to Arch. I have never distro-hopped, but I also have never had any huge issues with the mainstream distros.

      The main distros really are well maintained and do tend to “just work”. Dare I say, especially Ubuntu.
