Can't say I've used Arch as my primary for very long periods but whenever I have used it as my primary there hasn't been a lot of issues for me.
Never had to roll back kernels, never really had any major issues that I know I didn't cause or could be traced back me doing something, things were pretty smooth. There was some hurdles but they've gotten easier over time with the distro itself becoming a bit easier too.
But I guess I've gotten that Linux intuition over the years.
Whenever I talk to people about Linux I try to never say it's "Easier" or "Easy" when comparing to Windows but that it is different. How you use the computer and configure stuff is different.
Things like Bazzite for gaming or other CoreOS based distros are great for having a stable ground for people who don't want to mess with their stuff too much or tinker and I've heard a lot of good opinions and experiences about them as long as the CoreOS derive suit that audience to a tee in the first place.
Whenever you want to go slightly off rails for the most common person who don't have the experience of Linux but comes from a Windows or Mac background it does indeed become hard in the sense of being "different".
But a lot more so if you have incompatible hardware. You have to hope that you either have a laptop or computer with commonly used hardware by other Linux devs or you're out of luck and have to dig through specialised packages to try and install.
Luckily from my experience it becomes a lot less and less that does happen with newer-ish hardware. But not unheard of sadly.
I've tried e/OS on my FP4 and had a terrible experience with it. They try to develop their own forks of every standard app and google apps to get a more "complete" branded experience but what they achieve in mass falls short on UX and buggy software.
They have their own launcher that often glitches out when trying to edit your home screen layout, animations that are shifty and looks incomplete, etc. In general they try to replace as much of the android stuff to look like their UI design but then you click around some menus and get into some system app settings that doesn't have it. It all felt inconsistent and poorly integrated. All the things they offer you can get through other means from FDroid anyways but with the added benefit of actually being up to date as well.
The best I've tried so far on FP4 is CalyxOS and I had an amazing experience with it. When they went on a bit of a internal hiatus to fix up some of their infra I switched to IodéOS. Both are more or less somewhat minor-ish modifications to stock LineageOS.
CalyxOS last I heard is back on track now so I would recommend trying that one out. It was an extremely stable experience and you get a stock android look and feel that feels more complete. While e/OS feels more like huaweis old poor iphone copies.
When CalyxOS went on their hiatus I decided to go with iodéOS. It's French based and while it has some paid for features it is features you wouldn't normally use in CalyxOS anyways so no loss for me.
The updates have been stable and good, lately however they pushed the update for the new Android version which require the bootloader to be unlocked so I have to wipe my phone sadly. But other than that they've been good until I can get CalyxOS going again.
I don't think Americans wear underwear
When I was younger I read and listened to a lot of English but didn't speak too much. It took me years to get a better hang of "Three" and "Free".
Heading to a friends place to chill, play some video games, listen to music and probably watch a movie. Gonna be great!
I believe in you

And loose their darkness vision and looking at some of those SciFi space helmets, basically completely blinded.
Thank you for the links, I should look into this artist more!
I was talking about the scribble, zooming in on it it looks very digital actually. Didn't even notice the thing at the corber either lol. Thank you!
This is a damn good painting.
I can't read cursive very well, does anyone know the artist?
YES, was looking for someone who posted David Hasselhoff.
Does anyone have this image without the text?

Link seems dead, wonder what it was on there lol
Maybe poor image compression?
And it is 6 now, I should def be asleep
I saw him typing in his pin code too. It was 3939.
I needed to see this right now. Thank you.
I have and I can whole heartedly say that using Windows 11 on the Deck is an awful experience no one should be attempting as a daily runner.
