Bra-fuckin’-vo. No irony here, just kudos from one person to another: you’ve not only found someone compatible, you’ve worked out a way to, well, work the issues out.
And as you’ve said: it’s not one vs the other, it’s you vs the issue at hand. Chef’s kiss
And that’s a good thing! Non-technically-inclined ppl are wary of instability issues and having to work with the terminal to fix their daily driver. If the OOTB experience is good and the UX is comparable or better than Windows - they will be more likely to stay.
If someone is accepting the fact that shit might go sideways, is willing to learn through experiencing issues first-hand or simply likes to spend time fiddling with their OS to find the perfect setup for them - that should be the Arch- and Arch-derivatives audience.
