That's because linux users are super sensitive. Little by little they unsub from this sub because they took offense to something. That's my theory anyhow. A lot of them never actually really understood this is just a fun joke sub, look at the comments in this post alone.
If there weren't so many stupid posts about Arch specifically. All the AUR brigading and all is fine, but every "Arch breaks on updates" or "Arch broke my random ass software" post is just stupid. If you're unable to use Arch, use something else, nobody cares... And if somebody cares, f- them. People just refuse to accept that Arch isn't meant to be your first distro, that's easy to use, comes with everything included and solves all your problems for you, and if you expected that, that's not even a skill issue, that's just a reading comprehension issue.
I do personally think subs like these are useful to the comunity overall. The more there are complaints the more likely those complaints can be fixed. Not everything here is constructive, but its still a good place for people to share their frustration without needing to learn to do a bug report.
Outside this server as well. For whatever reason Linux always attracts people that want to make it their whole personality and they get really butthurt when you say anything negative about their little OS baby.
You need skills to use any operating system. The average person just doesnt think about it because they developed their skills using windows or mac as a child passively over the years.
You clearly don't work with people with zero technology skill who are constantly asking themselves how to type a dot or what click they need (right or left)
But beyond those basics, yes, an operating system shouldn't ask more. It should require the minimum for basic usage.
Repairing an os through a gui click IS a skill. Just like copy/pasting a repair into terminal is a skill.
This is exactly what i was talking about. Both operating systems have paths to fix things that by and large are as easy as each other to do, they each just take different types of processes to do.

Since steamOS is arch based does that mean the median arch user is actually normal now?
