I broke 2 Arch systems though. Never happened with Debian or Fedora.
Explained here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_Linux
and here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/arch_compared_to_other_distributions#Debian
but if I had to summarize it:
* pacman is much better than apt
* AUR is much better than 3rd party ppa repos and almost everything is in there
* most up to date software
* archwiki is the best and most complete linux resource on the entire Web

It was likely 100% your fault
