The most stable Arch distro has to be the one on Steam Deck.

It's a distro that targets exactly two hardware configurations that are nearly identical, with a very specific use case and software stack, with all of the most custom code being done from the hardware manufacturer. You might as well be declaring that water is wet.

If he can't install it on metal and can't un-fuck it, I'd gently suggest Arch is not for him, and he probably got lucky in getting it to run at all.
Arch will occasionally bite you in the dick, especially if you are running some hardware/software combination that hasn't turned up before and you are running the rolling updates. You are volunteering yourself for canary duty.
The main reason I'm one of the weirdos who likes Manjaro is that it gives me all the Arch-y abilities to fuck around with AUR and break it on my own recognizance, but I'm constantly a month or so behind the bleeding edge: All the major fuckups have been ironed out, and the the only times I've been peering at a console at 3am trying to fix the damn thing have been because I've thought "let's try this" after a few pints.
Even so, I save up my updates and any config tinkering until I know that I have a few hours free, just in case. Which suits my style, but will not suit everyone.
@Null taking the option to run part of his business on an Arch box and rebooting it just before he needed it was Bold™ and Decisive®.

My attitude with Arch is if it breaks, I will learn something and that it breaking is probably my fault.

Which is good if you want to learn. Less good if you run an International Media Empire valued in the tens of dollars and need it to work so you can stream and get superchats to buy your fancy cheese.

I don't know why he makes his videos in english instead of french but I stopped watching his channel after I found out that he was in favor and signed the petition to keep Stallman out of the FSF.

Thing I learned today by accident. SystemD faggots don't like when it's spelled with capital D. It hurts their fee-fees for some reason.
Is it because they cut their D after transitioning and it reminds them how they are mutilated for life or something?
I stumbled upon it while checking merge requests for Kwin, someone commented on MR:
So I followed the link, lo and behold:
What is this retardation? To me it reads like someone is assmad for capitalizing the D.
Later that day I was checking phoronix, there was an article about RH considering switching to x86-64-v3 for RHEL I made mistake of going into comments. This site went to shit over ten years ago and comment section is worse that steam forums btw.
Then I saw this gem:
What is this troonery? Is spelling it as systemD a "dogwhistle" for disliking Poettering or something?
I'm going to spell it as System minus D or SystemD from now on.

sounds like they don't like the D
in any case who the fuck cares, people call linux with the gnu toolset just linux are normal while people who call it "achully what you are refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux" are just manlets who've never had any form of uv light on their skin.

It's spelled "systemd" but it's pronounced "giant piece of shit"

Uncommon opinion: SyStEmD is okay. Not great, not horrible, just okay. It does a few things right, fucks up horribly in a few other ways, and has a shitty tendency of replacing system processes that don't need to be part of it, but it works well enough to not severely degrade my experience enough to make me switch to an entirely different system.

It's fine until I get that dreaded message about waiting for service to stop on shutdown, because something didn't close gracefully. And it ignores custom timeout settings, so I would probably have to edit offending service file.

It's 3 in the morning, why the fuck does my network adapter not shutting down. I'd set my time limit to 10 seconds but I just slam the power button and go straight to the bed.

I don't understand how it sucks so bad at shutdown.
Kill all the processes.
Unmount all the filesystems.
Anything that won't unmount, switch to read-only.
Sync.
Power off/reboot.
Should take less time than it took me to type that.

At this point I just want to fucking use my computer, not think about its underpinnings too much. I am very much willing to play with all these other init systems, learn tricks with the filesystem etc., but the spurious waits for a service to shut down is the only thing I'm agitated by.
