It's ArchLinux. The user is expected to do their own due diligence.

That would be very helpful... if I ran Arch.

You can try Manjaro, it's a tamed arch. It's what I use. Very happy with it...

Sounds like you're a good candidate for Arch.

It's so good it's made me question if it would be easier just to switch to Arch (so all the help would be directly applicable)

Sorry, I don't have any experience with Arch.
