The point of Arch is not that it’s hard to install the point is that it’s modular and you can choose exactly what you need. So in order ton maintain it you may need to know about pipewire, bluez, Wayland, synaptic, tlp, …

Once you know the name of most modules and graphical application it’s indeed pretty easy because Arch’s wiki is great. But I don’t think it’s a great way to discover the ecosystem and you would probably not benefit from Arch specificities compared to another distro.

I think the only person I would recomand this to would be a computer scientist who needs to learn as much as possible about Linux in two months.

I’m not sure a newcomer will notice the difference between xorg and wayland?

they want to appeal to proprietary companies

Wtf does that even mean? (Maybe English is not your native langage and you meant something else tho?)

stalkers who harassed and attacked me and my family

Wtf is wrong with these people?

Linux, Microsoft & iOS engineers have a flat tire.

• The Apple engineer : “let’s replace this tire ASAP”
• The Linux engineer : “we need to understand what caused the issue first, or it might happen again”
• The Microsoft engineer : “shouldn’t we just go back in the car and see if the issue solves itself?”
