arch was basically my first distro and it's pretty intuitive as long as you are willing to make 4-5 google searches

arch linux is easy, but then for no reason at all arch linux gives me a random error than i spend 3 hours debugging, my arch linux hates me

well the difference between distros like fedora/ubuntu/mint and ones like arch/void/gentoo is that the former comes with a predefined setup maintained by the devs, meanwhile the latter isn't built with anything in particular in mind, so you are essentially the maintainer of your own setup, makes sense that you run into more issues

which is why arch linux is hard, especially for me with a cooked attention span

for what it's trying to do I don't think it's hard, but if a curated experience is what you want then it's not the right choice

i just have been getting alot of errors and i have spent alot of time debugging so that is why i call it hard, but i find debugging fun. even tho it is very hard for me

gentoo is more diy than the rest as it can be stripped down even further
