    I don’t think Arch is as painful as dist-upgrading with Nvidia proprietary drivers installed and a few PPAs enabled.

    I no longer use Arch on my main machine, but it was a pleasant experience in general I’d say.

      Yeah, I would say Gentoo is more accurate for pain, “oh, I forgot to enable JPEG support by default, guess I’ll have to recompile my entire system”. Either way both of them might be slightly painful to setup the first time but they’re a breeze to maintain, back when I was using Funtoo I could copy my world and config files to a new computer and get an almost identical copy of my system running in a day or so when things finished compiling but without any further intervention from my side.

      Definitely. The only major issue I ever had was once with Grub. But it was pretty easy to fix with the right tutorial. Tbh the nvidia issue is what made it painful for me in the beginning.

      That’s not my meme, tbh. Lol. But panels 1 and 2 are accurate. Ubuntu was my first experience with linux. My previous company used it on their PCs. 2nd should be Mint as it’s my first personal distro and the one I stayed on the longest. 3rd is accurate, but now that I’m trying to get into Gentoo it seems to give me more pain lmao.
