This is why I use Arch

I used to recommend Apple over Arch too for the exact reason, but then Wine and Proton drastically improved, especially GE. The only app I use that I can’t get to work or find a very good alternative for on EndeavourOS is

Roblox

(and my fingerprint driver, like you mentioned)

though I don’t speak for all industries of course.

My repositories have never broke for me, thanks to Arch, probably. If you’re really that worried about updates, you should probably use one of these dirty fixed-release LTS distros.

I also have no idea how the kernel works.
