  • Arch Linux with NVIDIA is definitely not great for newbies, especially for people who can't keep up with the distro. If left unupdated for too long, your system may break. Even if you update every day, you could break something. You just never win with a rolling release distro like this. My only saving grace is that I run with an AMD gpu and so far, that thing has just worked.

    My tip for anyone switching to Linux is to switch to AMD. Even if NVIDIA is better overall for performance and features, even if the last time you tried AMD on your windows system it was slow and a bit buggy, on Linux, AMD just works, without extra steps.

    • How can a system that wasn't broken, without any changes/updates/upgrades ever break?

      Its browser maybe will not be able to display some webpages correctly.

      This myth/fear that arch breaks is based on ignorance and people who don't read output during an upgrade, it otherwise never happens.

      AMD gpu vs Nvidia .. 1-0
      Intel gpu boots without linux-firmware pkgs.
      Nvidia, old and new, you get what you deserve.

      • My point is less that leaving Arch alone breaks things and more that updating after a really long time can break something. It also kinda defeats the point of using a rolling release distro. I can see how you thought i was spreading misinformation though. My bad for poor wording.

    • For nvidia use ublue. Its immutable so it will always work. If not, roll back
