I generally agree but the comparison can't be made that directly in my opinion because the small userbase of desktop Linux alone helps a lot there and the addition of repositories and Flathub do so too!

Cool, I didn't know about that one but I am a Gnome user so I can't say I ever really looked for another spin ether! :)
How do you containerize stuff you install from source in a way that you can completely remove later?
I think Podman should do a good job but I never used it myself, Distrobox is build on it and a lot easier to use so that's what I would recommend!
Not updating regularly is the best way to brick a rolking release, just trust me on that one! 😅😂
Unless you are in a cooperate environment or very careless with the stuff you download and commands you run you shouldn't need one!
Definitely, you have to want to learn Linux fast and possibly a little more painful if you choose that path. Especially that SteamOS comparison annoys me, you spend basically all your time in a completely sandboxed environment with that (Steam uses Flatpaks for everything) so it has very little to do with Arch for most users!
They aren't unstable perse but there are always issues with some update and as a beginner with no clue about Linux I even struggled to solve Mints very rare issues, I think it's better to learn Linux first or that person might have a very frustrating experience!
Why is this downvoted so much? Most of them literally get rich from tax money and do nothing but save costs and raise prices, fuck them!
I don't think we should recommend any rolling release to beginners, I love Arch but that's just going to cause issues!
It's better than it used to be but for gaming a Debian base can still get in your way and if you don't mind the change in interface anyway it might be worth checking out Nobora. That's a gaming focused edition of Fedora by Glorious Eggroll, the creator of a really cool version of Valves Proton called ProtonGE and highly regarded in the community! It's basically Fedora with a few modifications and great defaults for gaming and only a Gnome version.
Interesting, I thought it was comparable to Furries or am I wrong about those too?
