No. Both CUPS and Netflix work perfectly fine for me on Arch.

You're probably confusing it with Alpine.

Despite the memes, Arch isn't that hard to install nowadays. The Wiki is stellar and archinstall is a thing (as well as EndeavourOS).

But Debian testing is a fine choice as well, of course.

In my experience, once you've got Arch set up, it less work to maintain than Manjaro. On Arch, you have noticeably more frequent, but smaller, package updates. On Manjaro, compatibility issues with the AUR may occur, which happened a few times for me, while that won't happen on Arch.

Keepass allows you to use a passphrase in combination with a randomly generated keyfile. You only need to copy the keyfiles to your devices once (not via cloud services, obviously). Your actual database can then be synchronized via any cloud provider of your choice (hell, you could even upload it publicly for everyone to see) and it would still be secure.

Of course, one doesn't have to install Arch manually; archiso and Endeavour are great conveniences and exist for a reason.

That doesn't change the fact that people who rely on those tools not because they want to save some time/effort but because they're unable to follow wiki instructions are likely better off with something other than Arch.

And if one is not able to install Arch using archinstall, then they should question themselves if Arch is even the right distro for them.

Without wanting to be elitist, I'd go further than that. While archinstall is a nice convenience, even the "manual" installation is really just diligently reading and following the wiki guide.

If that's too much for you, you're likely going to struggle when stuff needs manual intervention and you're probably better off with a different distro.

What distros are there that have drive encryption but don't require decrypting the drive while booting? Isn't LUKS pretty much the standard disk encryption for all Linux distributions?

Not on my normal playthrough, but I did try every possible ending at least once. My comment was rather intended as a joke, because dying in various hilarious ways is sort of part of the game.

I died in outer wilds

Who didn't, lol

I've seen some organisations move from CentOS to Rocky Linux.

Can't have jury nullification if you don't have juries.
