That’s a great idea. I’m new here so not 100% on how to spin up a bot; but will look into it

Just made it through a technical interview without managing to say that I use Arch, btw. It is harder than you think.

Where did this stereotype actually come from? I'm genuinely curious. Because Windows users wouldn't know Arch from Ubuntu and to them, all Linux users are "I use Linux btw" types. And I don't think I've seen Arch users just randomly telling people they use Arch in Linux spaces. But it must've come from somewhere.

IDK if it's a thing elsewhere but it's been a running joke on Reddit and Lemmy for years mostly because Arch was the more popular, bare bones distro, i.e. you had to set it up yourself without a guided installer like Mint or Ubuntu, so was used as a signal to be like "I know what I'm talking about".

Ah that definitely makes sense. I think by the time I was experimenting with distros, things had probably moved on a bit. I can say from experience that using Arch just requires the ability to read, really. But it was probably more hardcore in its earlier days when the wiki wasn't as well formed yet.

I know this one: It came from the Arch users. No, really, they couldn't just help to not tell anyone. It's not just a stereotype, it was really that common.

Now why they couldn't help, is guessing, but I guess it is the first distribution, that people take pride in to install, after they tried Ubuntu.

Winning the game is accomplished by playing all your cards and being the first to run out of cards. You play a card by putting one down that matches the last card played by either color or number. There's other special cards too, like draw x cards, reverse direction, wild cards, etc.

Ah, so in this situation, you are asked to draw 25 new cards, virtually making you lose. 🤣

I understand that the community is just a few days old, but there's gotta be enough EndeavorOS content outside of the existing one post.

Arch was the "elite" distro. Most people who weren't already very comfortable with the terminal were even able to use arch properly. Stuff like archinstall didn't exist back then and those that did were way inferior than what we have today. So using arch was like a "badge of honor" of sorts for many people who thought using it made them superior to disgusting ubuntu or mint users with their GUI installer.

It's just classic gatekeeping that you'll see in basically everything that comes with a passionate community.

Both NixOS and Gentoo are also addictive as hell, you poke just a couple of things — the next thing you know it's 3 AM two weeks later and you are recompiling your whole system trying to make it work with Wild linker or something along those lines, laughing maniacally.

I already knew Linux. What it made me learn is systemd. And I'll say it without shame, I like systemd. I know it doesn't follow the Unix philosophy but it's just semantics.
