From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I recently hopped to XeroLinux (page). Arch based, KDE already "riced", it has a greeting app that lets you update with literally 1 mouse click, a number (1-4) and the enter key. It's really nice looking, it's fast and it's ready to use. The only thing I added for it to be perfect was bauh app center, to manage flatpaks, packages and appimages (even sanps if you want to).
I honestly don't see a reason to recommend a distro like this to a user who wants everything to conveniently just work.
If I want Arch, I install Arch. The main pro of it is the extreme configurability of "building your own OS". What are reasons to use a distro like Xero, Endeavour, Garuda, and so on? They all just provide a cool KDE theme and pretty much not much more outside of that. Everything recreatable by installing one theme, they even tell you how to...
Arch might be fine, but not for this use case.
Exactly 3° point of the requirements. Arch "the arch way" needs a lot of tinkering. But that's just me. You might be right, maybe we should just encourage people to use debian, arch and Gentoo.
