I managed to install Arch on extremely non-standard hardware while in uni a few years ago, and have never looked back. The Arch community were extremely helpful and kind during that process. Every interaction I have ever had with them has been positive. This interaction strikes me as someone being angered by an obvious attempt at infiltration by another individual (who cares nothing for the community values and only wants things to be vaguely "inclusive")and lashing out aggressively. Arch doesn't want things inclusive, it wants things done its way. There is nothing wrong with that, Gatekeeping is not a negative term, it's how communities stay internally consistent. Gatekeeping is a community's immune system, and communities who don't do it get sick and die. >Sorry other Arch users, like it or not, you’ll have to support Manjaro users. And we do, by providing the wiki. No we are not going to troubleshoot your different distro on our forums, but most issues on Manjaro can be solved by a quick glance at the relevant wiki page. No one will even know you're using Manjaro AND you will have the satisfaction of solving it yourself. Or just use the Manjaro forums. This is an intended workflow, as the Arch wiki links to the Gentoo wiki in the Cron page, since the Gentoo community wrote such a comprehensive guide. That's not Gentoo "supporting Arch users" that's the Arch community acknowledging when really good work has been done, and not duplicating it unnecessarily.
