For what it’s worth, I got a P1S for Christmas and have been using it almost exclusively in Lan only mode with OrcaSlicer with no issues. I honestly think the drama is a bit overblown.

You’ve made a good choice. Arch is the way.

The 2 best features that I love and cannot live without anymore are having a rolling release that doesn’t break every single time I try to do a distro upgrade, and the AUR. I use Arch btw.
