Fedora has given me more headaches than arch has, per unit time. At least in arch I can fix the problems myself without looking at obscure bug reports.

It was a long time ago though, so I may be looking through anti-rose tinted glasses, misremembering, or misjudging my experience.

I like to tinker with my system.

NOTE: I'm not the person you were questioning.

I went from Debian to Arch to Alpine to Fedora, Fedora 38 was very much plug and play as far as drivers for the used laptops I buy. Been rock solid ever since.

Distro hop and try it out, a live image is only a dd command away.

I know it was. Drivers are simple for my system anyways.

I care more about the AUR and system customisation. Fedora has nothing like aconfmgr that I'm aware of. Nix's system seems to be better but even more complicated.

I just use SaltStack for that

SaltStack

Sounds complicated for a personal machine. Looks similar to ansible/etc. Learning curve.
