    To run arch, you have to hope that there is a blog post or youtube video for simple things like bluetooth!

    Or know what systemd is

        What on Earth for. I don’t think I’ve used it more than a couple of times over the last 5 years, and that was for arcane stuff like enabling rc.local (which is something every user should probably not know about…)

          Plex, CUPS (printing services), Minecraft servers, VPN, file sharing, DHCP/DNS/Wifi, bluetooth are some examples of basic level things systemd can help regular users manage.

          Systemd goes far beyond that too.

          scheduling processes, enabling services, debug services and a shit load of other things that advanced users need.
