    So I’m an Arch user since 2013 and I don’t think I’m toxic. I am not really offended by this post but a bit worried. Why this hate against Arch (users)? I use Arch, btw is a meme that may has some truth, but like every good meme it is exaggerated. Arch users may have some pride in tunning Arch but most of the time they’re (in my expierence) helpful and inclusive. The OS itself fits right to my expectations: community driven, pragmatic, highly customizable. And I think the community is doing a lot for the overall Linux community with the Arch Wiki and for the Arch-based family with the AUR.

    Edit: I didn’t seek help in the Arch fotum myself but read some threads there. Haven’t encountered any bm there.

    meh… I have met a few true arch a-holes, however the arch wiki is a supremely useful info repository, so I generally give them a pass for their particular form of brain damage and hope the do the same for mine. as long as the arch wiki remains available, its a net wash. :-)

      To be honest, a-holes are in every community. In about 30 years on internet I never find a community without some of them

    I’m trying to figure out what demographic would be downvoting this to hell. Arch users getting triggered by a clickbait title? Arch haters trying to cope with a somewhat charitable take on arch users? Or are we all just downvoting for the meme?

      I downvote because he asked how many he can get. Otherwise, I’m neutral to it, as I’m not gonna watch a video in public rn.

      Also, I use Arch btw
