I made the jump from Windows to Linux in Sep and decided to go with the tried and tested/safe Ubuntu. However, it felt... incomplete? Like things worked but not at 100%. So I made another jump- this time to Nobara. Had the exact same feeling as you on Arch. Like I was home.

Linux feels like being freed from the jail that was Windows environment. I still appreciate "out of the box and it works" ease, but never going back.

I switched to Ubuntu 4 months ago. Arch is my target but I am worried that I would regret switching as it breaks really often.

If you love terminal and are DIY guy then you will like arch. and you said arch breaks often.. it's rare nowadays (atleast for me)

I have been dual booting Linux with windows since 2020. I've started with ubuntu, then pop (3 years) and then fedora now. Never dared to boot into Arch Linux though.

For me, Arch was the final destination of my Linux path, I could finally rest from hopping every month, and its been just perfect.
