Poll on macOS 10.12 is broken

You might also want to think about using a distribution that emphasizes stability more. Arch is a great distro for people who want a bleeding edge, but it's strength is not stability. Debian is probably the most stable, Ubuntu LTS releases are decent as well.

This is an often repeated myth that just isn't true, (unless you have [testing] enabled). I had a single Arch install survive for 3 years without any problems and that involved switching over to a new init system.

I only had to install Windows back on the machine because I went on to sell it and get a new one.

Nor Ubuntu, nor Debian produce nVidia drivers.

What do you mean? You can definitely install them on both.

I mean that nVidia drivers will be nVidia drivers made by nVidia - same ones on Debian, Ubuntu or Arch.

Yes but Debian and Ubuntu LTS both take more time to be sure everything is working and then don't mess with it. The "stable" bit there means less change so less chance of things breaking.
