And of course I’m installing Linux on it. Install went well, even the fingerprint sensor built in to the laptop works.
Mostly this will be a school and DND machine but always nice to have a functional laptop for whatever else I may need it for.

It doesn’t need fiddling, but it invites you to do so. And the default setup is hardly a best practice: swap on a partition, no FDE, no zram… missing FDE in particular will require you to reinstall, and you better have found out how to do proper backups including metadata.
I don’t have FDE and I haven’t had a need to reinstall. I’m running it on my desktop computer at home.
But that’s during installation. Arch users will/should tell you that once you install your system and it works the way you want it to, you don’t really need to “maintain it” unless you create maintenance work for yourself. Same for “fiddling”.
