No offense, whether you ultimately decide to go with arch or Ubuntu or whatever, if you can't manage to install arch you should just stick to a chrome book because that's just a little over your technical capability.

I think the comic implies that the windows user got arch to work and he thought it was dogwater because it's not user friendly. (a valid complaint tbqfh)

i've been using arch for years noe after my exile from windows and i've gotta say I disagree. sure theres a bit of a learning curve but no more than there us for windows, in fact many of the common things people do with their operating system I found much easier on arch, eg installing it in the first place is one commanf and then it asks you (with helpful descriptions) what options to pick. windiws doesn't do that, it just slaps you with "which partition" and doesn't explain what any of it means, and then gives you checkboxes for which spyware you want to pretend to disable
even updating my software is either one terminal command or a single button in the app store, on windows i have to manually update everythingz even if i use the store (unless i manage to find the check box burried in the maze of metro settings apps to enable updating store apps with windows updates)
i use gnome, too, so all the desktop settings eg network or keyboard layout etc are very easily accesable, and you can very easily make multiple profiles for a lot of settings and just switch between them. try changing your IP address on windows! it's much more finnicky and limiting. only two DNS servers? no routes? can't switch between network profiles? but that's mkre advanced than basic use so it's whatever
finding and installing software, too, is just all in the apl store and unlike the microsoft store it's very easy to actually download stuff, no account needed! MS store is very buggy, still, let alone all the ads and paid stuff.

idk, there are plenty of reasons to not like linux, especially arch, including personal preferance. but saying it's tok conplicated it quite unfair, when i've seen plenty of windows users struggle to install google chrome on windows but they could do it just fine when i showed them linux (FWIW I am an assistant IT teacher so I see this a lot)

Honestly that is often what happens here. And for new users Linux overall, all distro, is unnecessarily complicated, best example is having to use the terminal to edit some obscure text file for things that should be just a fucking checkbox in the settings like in all other OS...

I believe you. Sometimes I forget that the average person is so ignorant that they struggle to turn on their computer.

I wouldn't recommend Arch to most people, but if I hadn't started with Arch I'd probably never have gotten so interested in Linux.

For a bored, nerdy teenager back in the 10s, starting with Arch was catnip.

>>100167921
From what I've heard it's made with power users in mind so if you've already got programming chops it can't be a bad choice for first-time linuxbabbies.
