I think the thing with Arch is that it’s very customizable, so it’s essentially as complicated as you make it. If you just install the base and Firefox and Libreoffice, and never mess with the AUR or touch anything else, then you’ll most likely never have much trouble. If you’re like me and you turn it into an unholy mishmash of base packages, AUR, flatpaks, Appimages, Docker containers, VMs and lashed-together Wine things, you’ll have a huge teetering pile of spinning plates that requires constant fiddling lol. But that is very much by design.
