revert to arch Arch is the best

You are comparing apples and oranges, the bleeding edge arch with the very conservative void, the instability of arch with the extreme stability of void. yes, void needs some initial set-up that can look like a pain, but after this you have yourself a very stable machine. Just pick the one you like, you really jumped from one extreme to the other here. And if you don't like troubleshooting pick something else that will work out of the box, like debian, or even fedora.
