I've messed around with Linux before but, I can't seem to find the time to relearn how to get a thumb drive of an easy distro on one. One day I'll get the thing working.

sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda of course
Yes I'm familiar with some of these letters
https://rufus.ie/en/ is your friend ;)
Thanks friend, for some reason I couldn't find this when I was googling "boot Linux from thumb drive". Much appreciated.
If you use ventoy, you can put multiple ISOs on one USB.
Ventoy is also my choice. You can just add .iso files on your usb disk and they are all bootable. Super easy
I actually don't get the fuzz/meme about Arch Linux. Yes, the installer drops you into a shell where you need to fix the keyboard layout for starters and the next thing is preparing enough disk resources for the OS which is somehow ungodly hard. My point is that if you can't then you are not qualified to maintain the installation, or actually RTFM and start to fr think what you do.
I love gatekeeping Linux distros
Why would learning be gatekeeping? I wish I could just teach my secrets... The manuals are only a shallow guide to knowledge. E.g. ls, has condensed for me to ls -laR mostly, and that ls<tab> usually gives tools that list something. ch<tab> gives tools to "change something", like chmod. mk<tab> to "create something" mkdir etc.
I may navigate in the terminal, but putting me at front of Blender etc. and I'm back to crawling speed of RTFM, and all I would see is a zoo of buttons.
broken Nvidia Optimus free of charge
Afaik Nvidia Optimus works fine on arch if setup following the wiki. It's mainly other distros that have Nvidia problems.
Exactly, while RTFM I haven’t have a single issue (apart from the driver quirks itself) and even automated the driver patching for NvFBC. Usual error is using nvidia-dkms and not setting up proper hook to rebuild the kernel module on kernel updates.
