I’ve messed around with Linux before, mostly in VMs, but I’m looking to switch over from Windows permanently on my laptop because I think Linux is cool.

If you are on endeavour, I don’t think there’s much point jumping to plain Arch if you are all setup and comfortable. I say this as a pure Arch user 😛 Not much will change for you, you’ll just be pissing away a day to setup everything you’ve already setup on endeavour again.
So the thing with Debian and any Debian based distro like Ubuntu or Linux Mint is there is no big centralized software repo like the AUR. Yes there is the apt repository but if you want something that’s not in there, get ready to read the documentation or follow random guides....
Nah, I’d rather put together my own PKGBUILD on Arch, so I have an mostly repeatable build for a package that doesn’t exist in repos. Bonus, I can share that if I wish and make others life easier.
I am an Arch user and I still don’t get it either. When Arch borks something it’s rarely catastrophic. At worst it’s throw in the live USB, mount your drive and fiddle. And as an Arch user, fiddling is something you sign up for.

Arch is Easier to Use than Debian

Why use immutable Linux ? And which one ?
What are the pros and cons for desktops ? EDIT : Thanks all. I’ll try Silverblue, bazzite and more.

Considering Starting Linux
I have been using Windows my entire life, but since I got my Steam Deck I’ve been considering trying to get into Linux....
