I literally never had OS install problems with any of it at all. Except for Arch, but what did you expect? Hands-on is the point of Arch Linux.

I've been on Arch + Gnome for 6-7 years by now, started on Xorg and today using Wayland 24/7.

most people probably expect a NAS to auto update, arch linux sometimes needs manual intervention for updates, which I only tolerate because I update multiple arch linux systems at the same time.
