Sure Windows is the most used operating system, but its error codes and fixes are so obfuscated it's nearly impossible to drill down to find the root cause.

It basically the opposite with Arch. You take a system designed to show what breaks, well maintained documentation, and an interested community, and you get an easy fix for most annoyances.

I'm still new to the point of "it's probably something I don't know how to ask", but if your GoogleFu is well exercised, a fix is typically a search away

Yup, the Arch wiki and Arch Build System were my reasons for migrating from Debian too. The Arch wiki is a fantastic resource and working with pacman packages is so much more straightforward than any other distro's system.
