LOL, some people do seem to signal technical prowess by their use of Arch.
Personally I'm quite fed up with having to read a treatise on the entire display stack and it's history with electron guns, modelines, etc, when I go searching for how to simply change the screen resolution. This seems to be a problem with linux in general, but Arch is, um, the archetype, IMHO.
- smitty1e 5y agoI had run Gentoo, so maybe the technical bar of Arch seems relatively lower.
- Doxin 5y agoThough on the other hand, when you're trying to debug some linux issue there's not often a better resource than the arch wiki. Even when not using arch yourself.
- elpatoisthebest 5y agoYeah I can second this. The first distro I ever tried was Mint and I think I was on the arch wiki every day for a whole month. Wonderful resource.
- mnd999 5y agoSlight exaggeration there but yeah, I think there is an expectation that you would want to known how it works as well as how to use it. For me that’s a good thing, but sure it’s not for everyone.
