No offense. I know you don’t know me or my history so it’s okay to assume that I’m a noob. But I’m so tired of hearing that response from Arch fans.

I’ve been using Linux for 24 years. I used to love tinkering with it in the beginning when I had a lot of free time. Recompiling the kernel with the modules for my hardware and experimenting with the different window managers, running servers and having my own personal self hosted cloud before that was even a thing. But now that I work in IT, tinkering with software and cloud stuff is all I do. After a long day of work, I don’t want to tinker with my PC. I just want it to work and be easy to use.

And for everyone else out there that’s not a techie, it’s important that we can have an alternative free open source OS to Windows and MacOS that’s easy to use without any hassle, that’s stable and secure. And as far as I know, Arch doesn’t provide that. And there’s no amount of comments thatay going up change my mind about this.

People don’t want to have to learn to use their computer. They just want to use it. And I wish you Arch fans would stop trying to convince people that having a difficult to use OS is part of the Linux experience.

What’s fun for you might not be someone else’s cup of tea.
