“who gets to say they use Arch?”

Beyond the fact that such a statement is really an utterly mundane piece of information, I’ll say that a person should install it the old fashioned way, set it up, and use i as a daily driver for a few months.

The install part has a very undeserved reputation. All one needs is a basic understanding of partitions, understand that the computer needs to know what time it is, who will use it, what filesystem it should use, and some other mundane stuff. Most Linux users already kow this from the start.

The statement “I use Arch” says nothing about your Linux skills. I had the installation down to 20 mimutes, but still a lot of what people ask in the beginner forums is plain greek to me.

The most valuable lesson I learned was that it isn’t like the computer wakes up hungover randomly one day, and desides to mess with you in unpredictable ways. Everything is a function of configuration and user input, plus possible changes from updates.

Everyone already knows this, of course, but it took a little while to actually sink in, haha.Once it does, everything becomes a little bit easier.

EDIT: Even when I’m on Fedora 36, or on Pop_OS!

Most knowledge really applies to any linux distro.
