PS. This is not a critique to Debian-based distros. And i’m not suggesting you to skip Ubintu for Arch either. Arch is a bit advanced and not too easy to new users, so that won’t do for some people…
… just install Linux Mint instead.

I “do work” just fine on Arch but maybe I’ve just gotten used to the quirks and the DIY aspect of it. None of it is an obstacle to productivity anymore.
I do realize I’m not the average person and am some kind of freak that likes to take working stuff apart and put it back together for funsies.
Some people just need an OS that works and don’t have time to waste on tinkering and fixing it every so often
That’s what I’m trying to say though, I’m at the point to where it’s not a waste of time for me because I know immediately what to do if something goes wrong or I need to make some sort of config change or install/remove software. I’m no longer “tinkering” with it, I’m using it. It’s just as fast for me as it is for someone on a more “user friendly” OS.
In other words, I have scaled most of the learning curve cliff.
Im getting there. Im finally to a point that i can work things out with the wiki and some forums instead getting help from my roommate. She doesnt mind, she loves computers a lot. But its nice to feel self sufficient and like im learning
