Arch is actually a great place to start if you want to learn how Linux works... But if you need a system that requires little maintenance it's probably not the best distro, as you found out

All of the issues I had were there regardless of which distro I used. It just happens that I've been using Arch at the same time when I decided to quit.

Never had that issue

As the saying goes: it works on my machine

sound issues being a close second

Never had that issue

Wifi is one of the very few areas where...

I actually had 2 laptops. On one I solved it, the other simply didn't have the drivers... So checkmate . Having to worry about wi-fi in this day and age is really something I'm not willing to put up with.

I can say that having a mostly secure OS and being able to do almost anything I need/want is a relief.

I can say the same for windows 10 ltsc... Plus I don't have to deal with things mentioned above.

Edit:

I dread the day when win10 becomes obsolete, since currently, there are no viable alternatives for me. Win11 is just... utter crap.
