No, bird 2 then screams at bird 1 for using Ubuntu and recommends <FLAVOR OF THE MONTH HERE> distro that will totally work and is totally easy to use despite the lack of documentation. It’s then bird 1’s fault if they can’t get their niche hipster distro to work.
I am unfortunately guilty of recommending niche “hipster” distros back in the day. Now I know to recommend the basics. Or just nothing at all so I don’t have to be unpaid tech support.
The hardest part is that the solution is often: Use subpar *buntu based distro for a month or 2 then get good enough to use Arch or something based off of it.
I’m really hoping that valve’s public release of Arch based Steam OS is good enough that I can just recommend that to people.
Bird 1: I have some trouble with Linux.
Bird 2: Whistles and flies off…

How would you say arch is for software support vs Ubuntu?
Anything that isn’t supported can usually be found either by flatpak or in the Arch User Repository.
I honestly like doing small tech support. Helped a friend setup Linux Mint
