Going through this right now, when a system update broke the game I was playing and the only support channel for my distro is Discord (so far, no one has replied to me on discord 🙁)
Everyone told me that Arch was hard so I avoided it for years. They were wrong, the wiki makes Arch a lot easier than most other popular distros. It’s so comprehensive! Bless those contributors. No wading through bulletin board archeology, decaying reddit threads, or half-relevant stack exchange questions.
It’s Nobara, a Fedora derivative. I’ve used it for probably 3 years now, with some brief hops to other distros in the middle, and it’s always been great. Really it’s just Fedora with gaming related stuff preinstalled to make it effortless.
I actually made a post here, but I think I solved the controller problem and the game is still crashing (even without the controller connected, but the system no longer crashes) so maybe I should make a new post.

I wish more distros followed Arch’s footsteps and built comprehensive Wikis

The only people who say arch is hard or breaks randomly haven’t fucking used it in ten years.
It breaks less then Ubuntu and has easier documentation that’s more up to date. And an actual community EVERYWHERE to ask questions to.
I mean, most of the time, the Arch Wiki is just as useful on other distros, too…
It really is! I’ve used it to troubleshoot Debian issues too! The Arch wiki enriches the entire Linux community.
Which distro?

If this is the case, move important stuff to a physical backup and get out of that distro yesterday.
