I’ve noticed all mentions of Arch Linux and anyone praising it gets downvoted on this particular sub. On top of that, Reddit has a tendency to pile-on if they see something downvoted. The person I replied to was in the negative when I replied, for instance lol

For whoever is doing it: You could just spend that time doing literally anything else. Staring at a wall would be better for your blood pressure.

But yeah, I was a solid B and C student in high school and dropped out of college. If you’re willing to take the time, Arch is really not that big of a deal. And the boons you get from taking that time is well worth it.

This. The thing inside my skull is a little slow but holy crap the sheer amount of documentation and enthusiastically helpful users has been a great experience.
