I’m curious about trying Arch Linux, but I want to know what’s difficult or impossible with it first, as that’s usually what stops me sticking with a distro.
I’m particularly interested in software/driver support. For example, NVIDIA doesn’t mention Arch in its CUDA download page.
UPDATE: OK it sounds like Arch is for bleeding edge. That sounds fun, but I like things simple and reliable, so I’ll still with Ubuntu. I might run Arch on my secondary drive, or toy with it in Docker.
Arch is not the most widely supported distro (as in supported by the creators of programs). You will see it supported most by some of the more indie open source programs, but beyond that, Debian and Ubuntu are more likely to be explicitly supported.
Arch definitely requires you to read. It’s a distro for those who want to assume greater amount of choice and freedom in their system. If you prefer an out of the box experience, try another distro.
