I personally know a handful of people that also don't know how the fuck Arch works but still use it.
Yeah I was just kidding. I don't use it myself. Those people are everywhere though, I can confirm.
I figured.
Arch is great for people with a very extensive knowledge about the entire system, or for masochists. One wrong command and the whole thing catches on fire.
Respect for those who know how to use it and are not assholes about it, though.
Definitely. I've tried it, it wasn't my thing. I get it, but it's not for me.
In my experience once you get it set up arch isn't that bad. I can only really remember one time it really broke and that was when my laptop ran out of battery during a kernel upgrade (I know I should have had it configured to keep multiple kernels but for some reason I didn't). I'm using opensuse a lot more recently though and it definitely is easier, just not by like an insane amount
Getting Arch set up from scratch is a great learning experience. I recommend everyone to at least try to install it once properly, you'll definitely come away with a better understanding of the system.
