One messes up Arch Linux the first time that they try it.

As a matter of fact, I broke Arch Linux a few times in the past.

The learning curve is absolutely high.

Arch Linux is fun when one learns how to keep it well-maintained.

And I have to say that it’s far easier to handle than my main Debian stable machine, because to have something like a permanent system-wide headphone correction (using Sonarworks) on that, I have to use Carla/Claudia from the KXStudio repos which behave badly when starting Ardour afterwards, so I’ll have to delete all kind of connections on that one. To be fair, I don’t have a systemwide correction with Sonarworks on Arch, where I only use easyeffects to load some eq curves for my headphones. Far easier to bypass that than the Carla/Claudia/Sonarworks construct (of mine) on Debian…
So these days when *creating* music I normally boot into Arch, while my main setup is still Debian stable. Wife and daughter tho are both on Ubuntu (with one desktop and two notebooks), and they’re pretty happy with it. I almost never get asked for help, so that must be a good sign…
On Android with our mobiles, but I think I’m the only one who tries to integrate that with Linux (using KDE Connect / GSConnect on Gnome).
Regarding KDE: I’ve tried it on Arch but went back to Gnome with which I’m much more familiar, keyboard layouts and all…
