As a 10 year Arch user* I concur. Reports of danger are vastly exaggerated. Most software comes pre-compiled and tested. I never had any more (or less) problems than with Debian stable.
Newcomers often underestimate the importance of its wiki, and some are perpetually unwilling to understand.

I’ve ever run arch, yet.
I’m used to scanning forums and wikis to find fixes, would arch be a “walk in the park” for me?
Thinking of switching from an oclp build on my old MacBook to Linux, as performance is lackluster on the latest build and I don’t even use the continuity features on my Mac

Arch probably has more documentation online than any other distro.
Just check out the Arch wiki, it’s insane.
So yeah, if you’re used to looking up solutions online, Arch might actually be the best distro for you.

It meant that I didn’t give that much context in my comment and kindly flamed myself before a stranger got the chance to it haha
Thanks for the kind comment.
