yeah i really like that it's quite conservative compared to Arch, i'm pretty sure the precompiled ones they ship is because the originals would take forever to compile on average hardware
I also came into the state where i can speed run Arch install without any manual in just a few minutes. Im not proud.
In your Arch manual you are missing instructions on how to install Grub on systems running legacy BIOS.
yeah that really does seem to be the case, the AUR equivalent of Gentoo is the Guru repository which you can easily add to your repository list, unlike arch's AUR where you have to update it separately or install a helper to manage what you installed from there
Im going to sound elitist (i hate this word), and im going to be hated for saying this but, i absolutely support ruthless behavior on Arch forums. Especially toward absolute beginners. Such people have no business using Arch in a first place, let alone asking questions. If you chose DIY distro, but then start a thread asking how to start desktop, you should be instantly banned. These people clearly lack any desire to learn something. They just want to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible, and with zero effort. They are lazy, and they justify their laziness by saying they have no time, or they are too old to read. Instead of installing Ubuntu and move along with their day, they stare at the blinking cursor on their monitor while hitting refresh on their phone hoping that someone has replied to their thread. I have no problem helping someone that clearly put an effort into problem solving and exhausted all options. But if you are lazy, you are going to get rtfm`ed hard.
I think we all dislike help vampires (probably a link to a post on are you a help vampire on the Arch Forums.) I mean the attitude (again, I haven't frequented those forums in a long time), of, for example, closing a thread with little or no explanation, where the poster's sin was ignorance, not laziness. It made me feel that the forum was basically angsty teens. On the opposite side, I've seen posts where users (probably a mod) Trilby, was very helpful to someone inexperienced, so like many groups. there were (and are) many good and bad ones, again, my opinion. I dont. Rest assured that someone is reading my post and thinking, "What an arrogant asshole."MrBSD, I doubt anyone will kill you for that.
Laziness and ignorance go hand in hand is what i noticed.
I have 10 year old account over there. Zero posts, zero started threads. Why ? Because their wiki covers absolutely everything. Not only it helps you solve the problem you are having, there are few tips and tricks hidden here and there. And you learn stuff. But hey, reading is hard and boring.
Yes. Those people. But again, as recluce said. There are these groups of people over there that think they know something, but in reality, only thing they know is toxic behavior. And i also noticed a growing number of so called "experts" that use LLMs to demonstrate their "knowledge". Its hard to distinguish them from bots. And this number is growing fast. Those people will single-handedly destroy all tech forums.
