When I say arch I mean the arch distro and all of its offspring.

Endeavouros

Arch-gui

Manjaro

Artix --maybe not though

My first enjoyable distro was manjaro, the manjaro element less so but using arch clicked for me. But even so if my first experience was using arch and archinstall then yes its not the easiest but its also not that difficult, arch is treated like a boss battle in darksouls.

So when a pre configured GUI arch is recommend I would like to see less scar mongering.

    It’s only been a couple of months, give it time. You’ll surely run into one of these issues sooner or later, 100% guaranteed. But you don’t have to take my word for it though, just browse the Arch forums and you’ll see the kind of issues people run into - and so will you, eventually.

      well, more opportunities to learn. Anyways, real quick question, for you, caz you said you’ve been using it for a long time. My mouse reports different mouse wheel events when using it wired or wireless. It’s with high res wheel that’s the problem. Does this ring any bells for you? Caz it’s really annoying to have a wireless mouse and I need to use it wired.

        I’m not really a mouse person, but I recall there was a change made in kernel 6.1 which broke hi-res scrolling for some folks, but I believe it was fixed in kernel 6.3(?) Here’s a thread discussing this: https://old.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1032x5q/linux_61_update_screws_up_the_mouse_wheel_of_my/

        FWIW, I just tested this with my Logitech G900 (kernel 6.6.14, KDE Wayland) - the scroll events reported using both the wireless (dongle) and USB are identical - they generate one REL_WHEEL and one REL_WHEEL_HI_RES event, which would seem to be the behaviour prior to 6.1. Not sure if any of this helps though sorry.
