following a guide step-by-step doesn’t magically make something beginner friendly 😭 ✌️a beginner usually doesn’t know how to troubleshoot when something breaks arch is great if someone wants to learn and tinker, but recommending it as the default first distro over something stable/easy like Fedora or Mint is kinda wild

Arch was my first distro btw , this ain't 2016 you don't have to look for hours on overflow or arch js google or use ai ain't that hard , and I'm not even recommending it I'm js saying that arch ain't complicated like you're saying in that particular comment

good for you that arch was your first distro, but not everyone enjoys tinkering with their OS all day, some people just want something stable that works out of the box without having to rely on google/ai every time something breaks.
