Long before it became available on Ubuntu you could very easily run it on Arch. Same for many other applications. It's pretty sad that a bunch of pimply children managed to meme it into a thing that a civilized person shouldn't even mention these days, because the software availability situation is above everything else out there (thanks to AUR and incredibly simple package format — you can write a proper package in a few minutes).
- brtln 5y agoSome people prefer stability over software availability. Arch leaves much to be desired given it's lack of tooling that's been available for years for other distributions. It's an hobbyist project all along.
