I am unfortunately guilty of recommending niche “hipster” distros back in the day. Now I know to recommend the basics. Or just nothing at all so I don’t have to be unpaid tech support.
The hardest part is that the solution is often: Use subpar *buntu based distro for a month or 2 then get good enough to use Arch or something based off of it.
I’m really hoping that valve’s public release of Arch based Steam OS is good enough that I can just recommend that to people.

I honestly like doing small tech support. Helped a friend setup and use Linux Mint

How would you say arch is for software support vs Ubuntu?
Anything that isn’t supported can usually be found either by flatpak or in the Arch User Repository.
