What's so special/annoying/good/bad/different about arch anyway? Honestly I'm 100% out out the loop here..
Arch is developed under the
keep it simple stupiddesign philosophy. It also has one of the most extensive linux manuals, a die hard user base, I use arch btw. And arch is often ahead of other distros with updates as the aur (arch user repository) is managed by usersHonestly, it's really not that special. Only reason I would ever use Arch is the AUR (which nixpkgs are a lot bigger than) and its absolutely great wiki (which you can use as a guide no matter your distro.). The reason there is a really small elitist community among the Arch Linux users is the knowledge you need to know to install it, and its illusion of minimalism.
Once upon a time, it was rightly a hard distro for people who wanted to customize everything. So only professional users used it and it became some sort of meme that skrip kiddiz would use arch to show off like they're a pro
Those days are long gone, Arch has become a mainstream and relatively easy distro
No bloat like
