    Arch is the truest test of how much you’re willing to sacrifice for control.

    You get control of everything on your system, but you’re basically on your own when it all goes to shit… which from how many of these posts I keep seeing seems to be a daily occurance haha

      Hardly.

      Gentoo is closer, it’s like Arch except you’re supposed to COMPILE every package…

      Then there’s Linux From Scratch. You don’t download the Distro, you download the manual on how to MAKE the Distro.

      For me arch was just a fun project that helped me understand how operating systems work and how they interact directly with hardware

    It’s funny, but memes like this affect the opinion of people who haven’t tried it.

    They mistake some extreme minimal arch rice for the general Arch experience or the general Linux experience as well. If so many Lemmy users, who are statistically tech nerds, don’t see through the meme, then the average person will definitely stay away from Linux.
