I haven’t majorly fucked up any recent systems (almost botched the steam deck once or twice but nothing that required a reinstall), but god 10 years ago I probably reset my arch dual boot like five times lmao

Absolutely. I’m a bit of a ways outside the city and waiting for the day the raids hit in full force here for anyone who doesn’t align with fascists.

I’ll toss in a vouch for bazzite too. I tried it out and it’s not at all for me, but that’s because I wanted to tinker with shit and bazzite’s a very “locked-down” immutable distro. if you want something that just works out of the box and don’t plan on doing a lot of tweaking, it’ll get the job done. I ended up switching to cachyOS which suits my needs much better, but I don’t think I’d recommend it to someone brand new to linux as a whole.

I’ve been using it for a few months now. Works just fine, doesn’t do anything fancy but it doesn’t need to. Filter rule creation is pretty limited, and the desktop client doesn’t play well with my VPN for some reason, but otherwise it works fine.
