Yes, the arch wiki is very good and useful. The issue is, that you need the wiki in the first place. In a user-friendly distro everything would either work OOTB, or it could be done intuitively via GUI.

Same. Use dragonized on desktop gaming PC and a laptop. Love it.
Way cooler than adjusting everything in CLI.
