I finally took the chance and moved away from Windows on my daily driver. I am squashing bugs and weird system issues as they come up, and it's been really fun. I'm so happy to have switched. (programming.dev)

Glad to hear it. Once you get some momentum going using Linux as your daily driver it gets a lot easier and smoother

So far it's been a lot of troubleshooting for just some random issues. There were some quirks with some of the hardware I have that I had to figure out, but the Arch Wiki is so helpful. Even for really niche things and situations. Knock on wood, but I think I'm finally at a point where it's stable on my system. Hasn't crashed on me once yet today.

The wiki is also why I chose arch, it's just so good. And if you can't figure stuff out on your own, ask on the forums. I screwed my keyboard up so hard it would only work inside the tty and stop working when I launch SDDM, posted on the arch forum and after a little back and forth we figured it out. That took less than 12 hours and it was the best support I ever got on anything. Plus, it's now there for anyone to find in case they run into the same issue.
