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.

    I’ve had Arch get borked, but never to an unrecoverable state.

    gotta love arch-chroot for that.
    No matter what went wrong or how wrong it went, if you have the time, you can find out. And pretty easily too, as long as you keep some logs.
