- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

MODERATORS
"Why do people buy a car if they can make one themselves" type of argument. I'm a little shocked someone can walk so close to the point and not get it. It's practically stabbing them in their face.
More like the manufacturer has stated that this car is meant to be built by the user themselves so they can understand it and maintain it by themselves, but then the user outsources it to a car builder who thinks one specific way of doing things is better (nothing wrong with it) instead and they slap their own branding on it. Then if the car breaks down due to a part incompatibility, the user doesn’t know what shit to do.
Sure, but the user knowing how to fix something or not wasn't the problem or related to anything you said. It's that you said they seem pointless to you and went on to describe their exact point of existence.
To be very clear, I'm not trying to make an argument for or against Arch derivatives, I just thought it was funny that you said they're pointless because you can customize them when people use them specifically because they don't want to bother with doing those customizations themselves.
I would consider using Endeavor OS because I just want something that can do basic work once it's installed (I use CachyOS which is also an Arch derivative, but it modifies core packages which is different from what you're talking about). Manjaro has separate criticisms, I'm not saying it's "good." I'm just saying it shouldn't be surprising that someone wants to use Arch and wants customization on a bleeding edge, rolling release, but wants a system that isn't quite so minimal once they're done installing.
(I should try to install Arch to a VM or something and use this archinstall script. Because if it works as well as everyone says then my opinion might be different.)
