listen i love arch, i can only use arch derivatives, pacman is the best, etc etc etc, but.......
ok so the community is ass. you got 1. neckbeards 2. trans people 3. pewdiepie??? idk but the first category kinda fucks it up for everyone
the arch wiki is great, it's one of the best sources of linux info out there. the arch forums, however? anyone who says that the people on the arch forums are nice and newbie-friendly didn't look close enough because bro those forums are so mean istg
sure, reading the manual is important before asking questions and you should give people enough info to help, but people can be really elitist sometimes and that's not cool. arch may not be for beginners, but like..... you're not a god because you were able to install linux from the command line. (speaking of, according to those elitists, if u use archinstall you're literally a poser??? maybe people don't have a zillion hours to spend on ricing their system.....)
i think i'm gonna add to this later....
