Funnily enough with how popular and broad the wiki has gotten some people are just searching “[problem statement] linux” and having the top results be arch wiki links so the idea of an arch manual being handed to someone new isn’t that far off
I once solved a problem with my hackintosh thanks to arch wiki.
I solved my {Fedora,Debian,Arch,Ubuntu} Linux problems thanks to the wiki, but yours... just wow.
Honestly I've always been a Debian based guy but thought I would try Manjaro to see how an Arch based desktop would work.
First distro I've ever run that worked absolutely, completely 100% out of the box and I've been a Linux desktop user for over 20 years. No proprietary drivers, graphics or networking issues, literally 10 minute setup. I would recommend it to a beginner for sure.
