Yeah, Arch is a hell-distro. I'd argue it's the least usable option, and should only be used on a machine you never intend to use for anything other than messing around with a self-breaking linux install. Truly an option for that spare laptop catching dust in a closet somewhere.
Also, I've had pretty good luck lately with getting Kubuntu to download and install proprietary nvidia drivers, and have switched back from Neon as a result of that and a few other little gripes related to not wanting to be on the LTS version of Ubuntu. Last few installs on different systems with Nvidia drivers have all worked. YMMV of course though.
Migrating sucks, won't do it until something breaks too hard. I went with Manjaro for giving me a bunch of different wms to play with and a working kde to fall back on, but it's otherwise unimpressive as an archlinux.
