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 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'm the OP! Just have read it and its replies. So I can write a general reply to these messages. I mean if Arch has problem with its stability, its developer team and etc. as the waste of time. Like, if there is some problems chronically with Arch, I don't want to mess with it. But if there is nothing wrong about Arch, don't take my "waste of time" quote important. I'm ready for learning new things and deal with problems like I said. I can say I have got somethings wrong because of the ignorant people. I understood that Arch is stable and non-troublemaking thanks to you guys. Thanks to you all. Have a nice day.

Try Arco. I always wonder how Endeavour always seems to get mentioned before it. The online install option let's you pick everything you want during installation, and the offline install is fine as well. The online install has options for Wayland/Hyprland as long as it's on bare metal. I distrohop in Virtualbox and that would be my pick. If the hardware is old, Mabox is great.
