I was Nobara user, then I am using Fedora right now. I want to use things like Hyprland etc. and ya know, Its damn cool to say I am using arch btw. So I've decided to use Arch Linux. But everyone says its always breaking and gives problems. That's because of users, not OS.. right? I love to deal with problems but I don't want to waste my time. Is Arch really problemful OS? Should I use it? I know what to do with setup/ usage, the hardness of Arch is not problem for me but I am just concerned about the mindset "Arch always gets broken".

I had more problems on 'user-friendly' distros, than I had on Arch.

As crazy as that might sound, as a "professional" distrohopper, I also find Arch to be much easier to set up and far less problematic, especially now with Archinstall which practically takes away a ton of the configuration and complexity of initial setup away.
