You can still run Arch & have a life. Arch actually just works if you use it correctly....

I run Debian on my work laptops, and Arch on my gaming rig. They are absolutely equal in terms of time sink, and it's not that bad at all.

I had a brief expedition into game development recently and ended up using Unreal Engine, I eventually gave up on Unreal -- but I do plan on checking out Godot. Although, I eventually go home sick for Linux (my computer isn't powerful enough to run a Windows VM with a game engine; please spare me), and ended up wanting a "it just works™" setup. So, logically, I try Fedora. Although, the installer just wouldn't boot, not on a USB, not on Ventoy, nothing. Just a cold dark screen with a solid underline cursor. I also tried OpenSUSE at one point, but there's some bad blood between me and that distro so I think I gave up at the installer. Anyway, I ended up installing Arch Linux, and would you look at that, the installer launches!
TL;DR: Arch Linux might take more time to get setup to your liking, but once you get it there, it it just works™.
PS: I have very much non-free hardware, this could be part of it -- and it made installing Artix Linux with hardware encryption very difficult that one time. :/
Edit: PPS: I'm not trying to say "don't use Fedora or OpenSUSE," use what you want. This is my experience.
Do you have an life should exclusively just say NO
I’ve used most of these with the exception of ChromeOS and the “not having a life” category. I’d say it’s fairly accurate.
