Some people want or need a tailored experience that they don't have to configure much if at all. e.g. making Linux suitable for near-real time audio work, restricting Linux to a set of well-tested stable packages for high uptime, making it as close to a standards desktop experience where the expectations are set by Windows and MacOS, making it sandbox absolutely everything by default because you have reasons to be extremely security-conscious, etc
Many of these goals are incompatible or at least unfriendly to each other, so you need tailored experiences. And that's fine.
Some of us don't. I use Arch btw.

- vinay427 6y agoNot sure how I feel about this as a vegan Arch user. :) On a more serious note, it's actually worked well in my experience for finding other Arch users. It's rather likely that someone exposes themselves as an Arch user soon after a first encounter rather than finding out months later, so (as with veganism) serves as a relatively salient marker of community membership, for better or for worse.
