Thank you for this comment, helps put some things in perspective for me. Nice to see some more nuance on the internet too.

I will preface this comment by saying I genuinely consider myself to be rather dumb, and slow to learn many things. With that being said, I’ve never had a single issue with the one arch based distro I have used (Cachy). I never had to really look up any docs, but to learn to install some specific programs. Overall it…just kinda worked? Only reason I switched to Fedora was for that extra peace of mind knowing its a bit more stable than rolling release, but still has more updated software than Debian based distros.

Man I feel like I dodged a bullet switching to Fedora right before this AUR fuckery started to happen…

Luckily for me, I switched from Cachy to Fedora kde right before the AUR attacks started happening. Fedora honestly feels like home to me now. I customized it to have a very Gnome like workflow, and its working flawlessly for me.

As much as I hate to say it, No Mans Sky probably. Has that same problem I get with playing Minecraft. Everything feels too empty and aimless for me.
