I tried arch once. Eventually, my computer just showed a black screen on booting. I managed to fix it by resetting my bios. That was the end of that attempt at using arch. Still want to try again, though.
I had this happen once or twice, caused by bad Nvidia drivers with Wayland.
I use AMD now for my day job, haven’t had a single issue in over two years. That’s not to say you should use it - it’s still a rolling release distro and will always have a potential to break over most other distros.
I’m new to Linux and use Endeavor OS. Its Arch BTW so everything I do I just look up the Arch Wiki.
Endeavour comes with KDEPlasma, or you can pick others. It also has basic applications like Firefox and media players. But nothing in the way of office etc.
I think Manjaro is similar but deviates from arch a bit.
