Honestly, it’s really not that special. Only reason I would ever use Arch is the AUR (which nixpkgs are a lot bigger than) and its absolutely great wiki (which you can use as a guide no matter your distro.). The reason there is a really small elitist community among the Arch Linux users is the knowledge you need to know to install it, and its illusion of minimalism.
The Dynamic Kernel Module System automatically builds your modules for your updated kernel.
I really like Void Linux. It is a bit harder to use if you’re a beginner, since it’s really minimalist and uses its own init system, but overall it’s really customizable and packages are kind of new (it is currently on the 6.6.21 kernel version, as a measure).
Hostinger is pretty cheap I think.
Try installing something like Linux Mint that is Ubuntu or Debian based which has a lot of beginner documentation. You don’t really need much resources after that, you will probably learn while using it and searching for how to do things. Also if you play games, check if the games you play work in Linux via ProtonDB.
Maybe uninstall Arch and switch to FreeBSD… Sorry Tux!
It’s a web app, you don’t really need a native application for it.
Seems like you’re currently using Pop! OS. Just wanted to give you some tips: Don’t install Manjaro, AFAIK their packages are mostly outdated and the distro says it supports the Arch User Repository when it clearly does not and breaks the system. Some more distros that you can use are Nobara (which is Fedora based so there is a chance you will face the same issues), Linux Mint, KDE Neon and Ubuntu.
A GUI isn’t preferable on a server mostly for one reason: Security. A lower number of packages and a smaller codebase means a lower number of things to exploit. And since WM/DE codebases are rather large and they have a lot of dependencies with them, it’s really not recommended.
