If in doubt, search the Arch forums for posts about the model you consider to buy. Best case: Some threads come up, but all problems could be solved. Worst case: No threads, or a lot of threads about obscure errors.
This is a duplicate command to increase my chance of getting a late reply :) Hope that's fine.
When I read comments like yours "Arch is a minefield" "With Arch it is so easy to shoot yourself in the foot", I never know what this could be specifically. How could this look like? Can you give me something more concrete? I'm really eager to know what everyone is talking about.
Imagine me: I'd consider myself a Linux noob, although I probably aren't anymore. I use Arch Linux for about 3 years now as my daily driver. I'm not young anymore - I didn't grew up with computers - I don't have it in my blood. I don't have formal education in anything computer and have never worked in the field. During Covid I learnt Linux from the Arch wiki. Now I'm using it. I configured some things and can control my computer through the command line.
Everytime I read comments like yours, I get the shivers. Did I miss something integral? What do I not know about? Especially network stuff is a blind spot for me. I didn't touch network stuff beyond the default wiki pages.
Hey, I might be too late to the party, but I'd love to get some more info to your comment.

Looks like a fun website to spend a hour or two. Thanks!
Regarding tolerances, your OPs article states that they were actually able to produce them before, but not at a satisfying quality. I don't know what a 'good enough' quality is, though. It's a good story nevertheless :)
