    The comment section of that video demonstrates why many people ate put off by the Linux community.

    Sure, the guy made a bad call on manjaro, but the weird smug comments and toxicity as a response seems disproportionate.

    The arch userbase pretending they did something more difficult than follow a recipe.

      Reproducing a recipe is something scientists struggle with, so it must be impressive when you succeed 😉

        Yeah but I follow the recipe of taking a breath every second and its not too impressive…

            Dunno, just feels like a vague statement with no real evidence.

            Sort of like, “you wouldn’t know my girlfriend, she goes to a different school”.

              I’ve been making reference to the much discussed “replication crisis” in academia. They are factious comments meant to be jovial, entertaining, and thought provoking.

      As a general rule, people start liking Manjaro when they start getting good at Linux. But I never really liked Manjaro. On the other hand, I don’t understand why customizing Arch is more complicated than customizing NixOS, where you can’t always just “copy-paste” ready-made recipes. But people bounce away from Linux precisely because of watching the artwork of Linux youtubers. Because it is impossible to describe what they do in pursuit of advertising views.
