My experience with Arch
(sh.itjust.works)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I agree with you completely. I am sure you deal with these minor issues quickly and barely notice them half the time.
But users of other distros would find it intolerable to have to deal with these small tweaks on any given day. “My computer is a tool” they will say and “it just needs to work”.
Fair enough. But then they turn around and fight bugs and limitations that were solved for Arch users months or even years ago.
And they fight to install software not in the repos, often making their overall system less reliable in the process.
I prefer the stability of Arch over the stability of Debian thank you.
