I resent the implication that Arch Linux users feel the need to publicly announce that they use Arch. (I use Arch, by the way.)

It's a long-running meme I think originated from Reddit.

  It is not a meme, Go ask a question like "How I install xyz in Debian and an Arch dude will tell you to switch to Arch and then install the package from the AUR". Also Arch has a lot of fanboys that will deny that Arch rolling system has flaws(internet is evidence of people having problems) and it is not blindly update and 100% works.(they will forget to mention until is too late that it works 100% only if you first read the news page, not use certain hardware, don't install random stuff from AUR that some random dude said you should. My advice would be for the community to 1 be honest, there are caviats, there are better tools for some jobs, there are problematic hardware configurations and problematic packages 2 try to slap the idiots that suggest switching to Arch on unrelated topics like "How the fuck do I fix GNOME stutter on DistroX", Edit: I was responding to a comment below but the user deleted it... so Sorry if I made you considering not answering questions, please continue helping people with good advice like - how to troubleshoot - how to read logs - how to search a bug tracker - how to report a bug - how to edit config file - remind people that new version of xyz also contains fixes but new bugs too and sometimes will remove features, so if an upgrade of a package is suggested there should be a caution raised and maybe a way suggested to downgrade. And if you really thing Arch would soemhow fix this bug because of Arch's magic code explain what exactly is this magic and maybe suggest this person try it a VM or live iso to confirm it actually works and there are no other new bugs. What people hate is "it works for me on Arch so by Arch fanboy logic the issue is your distro"

Does Manjaro count?

  I use Manjaro... on a Raspberry Pi! It took less disk space than the native Pi OS.

  No. (I used Manjaro in the past but I had many more issues when updating packages then with my current Arch.)

  No. It has to be pure Arch, installed the old fashion way, without the archinstall script [0]. [0] https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Archinstall https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Archinstall
