Arch isn’t necessarily unstable or “dreadful”. It’s a distro that requires the user to know what they’re doing and to be a tinkerer by nature. Whether this is a feature or a downside is dependent on the user.

But I agree with you, recommending an Arch based distro to someone who is not a tinkerer and just wants to use the PC - which is the vast majority of PC users - is a mistake.

PS: I use EndeavourOS btw

I am exaggerating for effect, as all of my Arch experiences (never being able to pass the installer without a fatal error or showstopper) are all I know. Its quite vexing that getting other distros installed and configured is easy for me.

I do recognize the power of and capabilities of the distro. Yet, its never been at my fingertips; I must not know the soft, gentle latin curses required to make an Arch install successful.

I even tried to install EndeavourOS and CachyOS. To be met with failure and the need to retreat to another distro.
