The only time I've ever had to fix a bunch of stuff was when I was new and neglegent in my first arch install. What's with all this mouth frothing tribalism? This bmost popular arch-based distros are essentially problem free and user friendly.
I've been on Cachy on my laptop and desktop and the only downtime I had was swapping from a Nvidia GPU to an AMD. Even then the process was well documented, easy, and risk free with snapshots.
"ARch Is tEH"... Blah blah blah say something useful.
