@lunarised@whinge.town Ubuntu was the worst experience out of all the distros I've tried, no joke. The set up took me several evenings of reading on forums, reinstalling drivers, fiddling with ports that didn't work, messing with bluetooth devices, pulling my hair out. After all of that, I realized that snaps were a dealbreaker for me and went to Fedora, and it just .. worked. I have to admit that I'm arch-curious, though. Did you set it up from scratch or start with a more user friendly arch-fork?

@paranormal_distribution@fosstodon.org Snaps are terrible imo, and i hate having to manually setup any kind of IO forwarding to them. I started on Mint, then Manjaro to get the grasp of how an Arch based distro operates, but then I just went in for full blown arch I would recommend if you have some linux experience to just dive into Arch, and to not use the included installer... as it has problems. The Arch install guide is super useful for getting everything up and running, with a minor caveat that secure boot doesnt really work, and setting up the bootloader is a ballache
