Slackware 15.0 on my desktop, Void on my laptop. I try other stuff on my laptop from time to time (FreeBSD has been my favourite experiment so far, but the wifi and bluetooth are just too bad for me to be able to use it regularly), but always go back to Void. I don't distro-hop on my main machine.

I'm actually looking for an open source project to get involved in. Started teaching myself Python and Javascript last year, picked up some C and Linux-adjacent skills at some point, now studying CS part time as a mature student. I'd love to get involved with something free and open and I'd be happy to learn a new language to do it. Anyone desperate? 😂
Specifically with KDE and Arch, if you installed the meta package including the sddm display manager, make sure you're using sddm-git and not the stable release (19.x I think) because the stable version of sddm doesn't support Wayland. That could be why you're seeing a black screen, the drivers shouldn't be that bad. KDE is in the process of transitioning to being Wayland by default, some things are still WIP and you may have to account for that on bleeding edge distros like Arch. That's the fun thing about Arch, not only does it not stop you from shooting yourself in the foot, it cheerfully loads the gun for you.
