I installed Cachyos in June this year after years of Mint (Cinnamon).
It was a zero problem install and everything works with my hardware. I chose KDE and it runs with Wayland perfectly. it's the best distro I've used since i started with Linux in 1995. So my experience with Arch is excellence so far. pacman is already my favourite package manager.
my dog was 55kg, Greyhound-Great Dane cross. not massive compared to this dude.
I'm running Debian 12 bare metal on my home server, for over a year.
it just runs, no hassle or craziness.

I cleaned my bike chain a couple of weeks ago and it was caked in grease+dirt. First I used a flathead screwdriver to dislodge as much crust as possible, then an awl/pick to get into smaller spaces then I used hot soapy water + eco/biodegradable dish soap + stiff brush. I scrubbed the chain while it was on the bike then I removed the chain (and rear mech and cassette) and scrubbed them all again.
After I dried them all using a towel then sprayed with WD40. Allowed this to evaporate, sprayed them with EPA, then greased them all with lithium grease spray.
I disassembled the mech, cleaned all the individual parts the same way, then used lithium grease on the pivots and bearings. reassembled, refitted, and it's all running like new.
I probably could have used some bike degreaser however I didn't have any and couldn't be arsed going to buy some.

I switched to Cachyos KDE a week ago. It's the best distro I've used (previously I ran Debian KDE, and Mint Cinnamon before that). I have a GTX 1070 ti and it set up with zero issues. Steam installed perfectly, and I used AUR to install the gaming-meta package.
I have a 1998 Kona Cinder Cone. It sat in a shed for 7 years and rust destroyed many of the components. I priced replacement parts to get it ready to ride again and I also found a used 2016 Boardman FS Pro on ebay. The used Boardman cost less than the parts for the Kona, and the Boardman was full suspension with excellent parts. I bought the Boardman. It's been loads of fun.
I guess what I'm saying is ... I agree with you :))

The US. I'm Scottish, 56 years old. I've been tot he US many times when I was younger, first time when I was 17 for just about 6 months.
I took my kid to the original Coheed & Cambria Neverender in 2008 in Manhattan when he was 15.
I made the decision to never go to the US again during Trump's first term when they implemented the Muslim ban. My good friend is Scottish Muslim. He had a holiday booked in the US for him and his family and had to cancel it. I can't stomach racism or any of the hate shit.
Seeing what's happening now simply reaffirms that I made the correct & right choice.
