Came here to post the same thing. Very strange 180 there. I had no idea what dd was when I first got into Arch, but if I had let that deter me, I never would have gotten past the first step. I also don't think understanding dd is very critical to being able to use Arch as a whole.
- wyclif 12y agoI agree—the problem is that it does not logically follow and is contradictory, but he is right that knowledge of the CLI makes things a lot easier. However, I'm with you in that I don't think there should be any pressure not to try it anyway. I have a custom-built desktop machine that I can install anything I want on, so if something breaks or falls over, I can simply reinstall another OS (while getting real work done on my laptop).
