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.

    You don’t want Arch then. I’m sure other people will chime in with recommendations. I’m hesitant to make desktop recommendations because I mostly use Linux on the server, and I’ve never used an atomic distro or similar. But you probably want something mainstream, stable, and well-supported like Fedora.
