I switched like ten years ago because I wanted to learn the details, but in all honesty I still feel like I barely understand anything. Not sure how normal this is, maybe I’m unusually dumb, but I feel like what I’ve really learned is how to troubleshoot and solve issues by reading documentation and tinkering, rather than understanding what I’m actually doing. I’ve had a stable system for years but I kind of feel like if a typical arch forum poster looked my system configuration for five minutes they’d be like wtf are you doing.
no kidding. just for fun I tried to install arch manually, without using the easy method (archinstall) and it took about 2 hours to figure out why x wasnt working, then x got fixed and the process incremented. learned a bit though

If you know where to look and where to tinker, then I think you have at least some understanding of what you’re doing.

It is great when you have time to learn, but when you are trying to troubleshoot while understand basically nothing of the wiki … it is not good.

Tho I agree with this, still I don’t find Arch THAT much difficult than any other OS. Just my 2.5 cents.
Can’t believe you got so offended someone was offended you edited your comment…
