I’ve met Arch users who will confidently tell me untruths about Linux in general and have no idea how to even approach solving problems beyond copypasting instructions from the Arch wiki or forums.
“What happened?” I dunno
“What did you do?” I just ran “echo…” (Or some other meaningless command)
“Do you have logs?” No, what are those?
“Please at least tell me the versions of the things you are running” How do I get that information?
I guess it speaks to the stability of Arch that it can attract users who have no idea what they are doing and still work. But it does also speak volumes about the image it has as an elite distro that makes you look like a Linux expert without actually being one.
The amount of people that I personally know, who i have convinced to try out linux, AND END UP CHOOSING ARCH AS THEIR FIRST DISTRO, IS TOO DAMN HIGH >:^[
Idk where these people get the idea from, I never mentioned arch to them but some how it just happens.
I think they want to learn. They wanna know their os. It’s why you choose Linux unless you’re like my girlfriend which just gets mint installed and stays happy on it
