What's wrong with wanting a community supported distro?
Not sure why the hate on arch.
The hate is towards the community members that spam "arch btw" and telling new users to install arch.
Anti Commercial-AI license
There's no hate for anybody or anything, I just realised some distros have marketing, most have at least a pretty website, but for arch, you need to search for the download button when you want to install it, and the only thing that spreads archlinux is the word of mouth(or something similiar in the comment section), and this mostly involves spamming „arch btw”
There's a download option in the header. From there you just choose a mirror to download it from.
I know, but I was comparing it with some other distros that have a giant download button in the center of the screen, that instantly downloads the iso
Arch BTW mostly isn't serious, but I agree that arch isn't a good beginner distro. Same goes for manjaro.
Not sure I've ever seen an Arch user say that (not saying that never happened, just not anywhere I could've encountered it). It's a meme at this point.
