This is why people should stop recommending Arch. Fedora or Opensuse TW should be recommended instead for new people. - eviltoast

    I would recommend Arch, but only to users who want to learn and understand linux and have the time to do so.

      I strongly disagree, they should go in with an absolute baby beginner distro first, learn all about how it works from a user’s level, and then they can go back and start building up from scratch with arch.

        first steps would be to stop calling a distro baby beginner been running debian for 24 years. Linus runs Fedora the exclusive idea I run a hard distro with a custom window manager and use CLI for everything Is pure ego and toxic. Now don’t get me wrong there is no issue with using Arch or a window manager vs DE. But the idea that as you advance it’s a foregone conclusion you will used that config or distro.
