I can confidently say that I used Ubuntu (different versions even) many years ago on work computers and the Frankenstein monster it became and it breaking when updating was a real problem. I’ll never do it again. Arch has it’s problems but less worries managing it and updating.
The lts trap + old kernel version + plus their horrible custom patching of it + needing other ppas for some hardware to work on top of that of custom patched kernel to support whatever specific thing the laptop needed that was available on more recent kernel version + the need for some apps/tools with recent versions… Hell, all of it.
I’ve been using Ubuntu since 2008. Still use it just fine. I dunno what is horrible about it, everything works. Have used it on a ton of different computers. Everything has always worked on it for me. I am an old unix bearded person, and a sw eng.

I honestly don’t understand the hate.
