Dont use freaking Arch if your goal is to get everything to work out of the box?
Fair, though in my experience, Debian and Ubuntu weren't that much better in that regard.
I just went with Arch, because some of the stuff I wanted to use was much newer on it.
Or, here's a radical idea, don't release your freaking distro if not everything works out of the box? :P
Dont buy a project car if you dont want a project. Some people like that shit, but its not for everyone.
That's fine but people here are trying to convince everyone that Linux is a 1 for 1 replacement of Windows or MacOS and as someone who has a lot of experience with Linux and uses it (and enjoys using it) for work/coding/development, that's simply a lie.
Yeah fair enough, but also don't call it a car if it doesn't drive.
