I’m curious about trying Arch Linux, but I want to know what’s difficult or impossible with it first, as that’s usually what stops me sticking with a distro.

I’m particularly interested in software/driver support. For example, NVIDIA doesn’t mention Arch in its CUDA download page.

UPDATE: OK it sounds like Arch is for bleeding edge. That sounds fun, but I like things simple and reliable, so I’ll still with Ubuntu. I might run Arch on my secondary drive, or toy with it in Docker.

    the nvidia website doesn’t list the drivers because they should be downloaded from the arch repos instead

    arch is generally easier for more complex stuff, can’t really think of anything that you can’t do with it
