    I get that the official Arch forums are a cesspool, but outside of that I see about a thousand times more people complaining about Arch users than I do actual toxic Arch users. It’s getting kinda tedious and unfunny at this point.

    Huh. It’s a little off in some details, but does a pretty good neckbeard.

    I’ve been using Arch for several years, including off-beat offshoots like Artix, and have never once compiled a kernel on it. The last time I compiled a kernel was a couple of decades ago when I was running Gentoo.

    Arch is mainly a precomputed precompiled binary distribution; AUR is where you get the compile from source packages, and that’s the community repos.

    Arch users may have a reputation for acting superior, and I’ll admit that they Arch wiki justifies a lot of “look it up yourself” mentality, must because it’s so comprehensively good. But I think GPT misses the mark on a couple of points, like extra fingers on a Stable Diffusion person.
