Try CachyOS or just do like me and use their repo + kernel on Arch

These days it’s very small. Most people just wanna use Arch because it’s cool.

While I do wholeheartedly think it’s by far the best distro, I also frequently recommend Mint for newbies if they don’t enjoy learning on their own.

It’s a USER repository, where you literally download install files from unverified strangers.

There’s a reason all the AUR helpers prompt you to verify all the files before they will build or install anything.
