Arch is only the larval stage. When a Linuxite consumes enough CLI, they metamorphose into one of two adult forms: a Void user, or a NixOS user. As these two adult forms are incompatible, this is a rare case of species divergence within a life cycle. Even more oddly, like the axolotl, many Arch users never leave the larval stage, and continue living comfortably in their ecological niche.
Wow, this is so well explained, I'm making it my personal copypasta!

Switching to nixos?
As someone who switched to nixos - eh. So much hacking to make dev stuff work really kills the magic that nixos is supposed to be :|
Yeah, it is a lot of initial work, but once you got your shell.nix or flake.nix in place it is really nice, to not have to deal with different dependencies and versions in different projects.
But you can also archive the same on any distro with the nix package manager.
except i want my computer to function for my needs without "a lot of initial work"
It's an investment for the next time you install on a new dev machine. After install, I will literally run a single command to return to the exact state of my dev environment.

I think with inflation a picture is only worth 700 words.
S6E4 Game Changers dropped literally yesterday and you wasted no time recycling the joke

I used to run Arch, btw
I use mint, btw.
(…Not really but it fits the joke the best. I have used it and it’s an excellent distro whether you are a beginner or just want something stable and full featured. )
Mint is such a pragmatic distro. Honestly I admire people who are just happy with their Mint and don't feel the need to distro hop to ever more esoteric package ecosystems just to feel alive

Yeah, it's obvious a jealous Manjaro user stole that dude's sticker...
Edit: almost forgot... I use arch btw...
I don't see what the problem is with Arch Linux and why it gets so much flak. I am not a Linux expert by any measure, but I use EndeavourOS and find it really use to use (don't ask me to install from scratch). Its extremely stable and I like the fact that it gets updated constantly.
The only other distro I really liked is MX Linux. My main gripe was that I don't want to reinstall every so many years. I want to set up an OS and just use it without worrying about it being a temporary thing. But maybe I'll change my mind in the future.
I'm not for or against any distro really, maybe except Ubuntu and its bloat. I just use what best suits me, which is the whole point of all the different distros.
Manjaro is truly the worst distro of all time and probably helps give arch a bad name
Oracle Linux exists

Became straight
I've used arch on one machine now, am a total noob to it, and I really like it. I see what people are raving about and I see no reason to shit on it. I don't really care if 6 years ago some people were annoying about it

I was asked what I think of the distro "Arch btw" since everyone recommends it. Gold.
artix my beloved
!btw
What dist to you use btw?
I use BTW btw
NixOS, it has a lot of the same pain points as Arch, even steeper learning curve for installation and configuration. And lose support for even more software titles.
If it's not 1995 slackware difficult I don't want it.

Arch is a pain to setup BTW. It's worth it, though you'd be better using something like the installer for cachyOS to get the same experience
I'm partial to Endeavor OS personally. It's basically just Arch without the bullshit of setting it up.
