Nah, as an arch user most people don't likely need it. Mints a great option. No matter what you do with arch (even endeavor) there'll always be alot of setup, by design, and with how fast things move they'll break commonly. Like the grub issue a bit back, or the kernal that could have caused screens to die, or more recently the nvidia drivers forcing many screens to be stuck at one brightness.

I love arch, it's a testing bed for the linux ecosystem. The first place where things exit beta and interact with each other in the wild. It's definitly not what most people want for a computer though especially not for work. That's why I duel boot with OpenSuse tumbleweed for my contract work (also, separating work and regular life makes things easier but that's not relevent)
