Most Linux distributions boil down to the following: - What package management system do you have / how do you want to install your packages? / How often do you want updates? (rolling/stable) - How much trouble are you willing to put into installing the distribution of Linux? - What boilerplate systems do you want to handle the underlying methods of the operating system? (this is a more advanced topic like init systems) The reason why I use Arch is that I have a specific way I use my system, and I've set it up in such a way that Arch benefits me. Everything else can be done in Ubuntu or Debian or Fedora or Mint, but my system is set up in a way that I like with Arch, and it's staying that way. I don't want to distrohop. I don't want to have defaults that don't make sense to me installed. I don't want things to be configured for me. I want to configure a system that has my setup the way I like it. People who flex about using arch are as ignorant as the idea that "arch is overrated" - The wiki is a wonderful resource to learn how things work, the AUR is powerful, and the power is in your hands. You just have the responsibility to not shoot yourself in the foot with all that power.

​​​​​@@nostalgianinjaexactly,this video is based on his personal opinions/ideas,he has assumed that most people "flex" using arch because it's hard to use. I have never witnessed any true arch user "flexing" on them using arch on the premise that its hard to use.Yeah there are kids who do that,but they don't even use arch the way it's designed to be. Rather its just a lore/joke in the linux community,cuz the arch installation process is too involved compared to other distros or rather it used to be. And as you say,the choice of distro finally boils down to their package management,update schedule,security and the overall philosophy. Now again you could theoretically make one linux distro the functional copy of another by changing the init system,DE or window manager,etc which is just a testament of how customizable the whole Linux (or GNU) ecosystem is. Different Distros exist to particularly provide users with their preferred "out of box" experience. And as you say the arch community is probably the best one out there. I personally don't even use arch on a daily basis,it doesn't suit my workflow,i prefer stability so i use debian testing or flavors of ubuntu like MATE. Throughout my experience of using linux,the arch forum ,wiki are probably the most important resources out there.

Yeah yeah cool cool but did I mention that I use Arch Linux?

"Arch Linux is overhyped" proceeds to explain why it is easy to use and never talks about how "overhyped" it is. Spoiler: it's not. Wrong title.

Arch is overhyped because it is considered as hardest OS but it's is easier than windows and debian both, but did i mention i use Arch BTW?

Linux community is the only one where something being hard is considered a positive. Weird elitists. I use arch myself but definitely do not like how things are made hard just so the arch community can feel superior about themselves.

Arch is definitely not hard on purpose, it explicitly allows you to tinker to your desires. If you don't like "do your stuff yourself", I think you should switch to another Distro. "how things are made hard just so the arch com.... " Bro you Okay? tell me how you get that impression????

​@@ziyan8862 i like doing my own stuff, I have every single inch of my desktop customized to the T. I should have made it clear that the issue is not Arch itself but the community. Arch is what it is, but the community is hell bent on making it seem harder than it is. For example, I prefer to use archinstall to get arch installations up on all my systems. But as soon as you mention you use the script, all the neck-beards rise and tell you not to because its not the 'proper' way, even though the script allows me to customize all that I need and takes 1/10th the time a normal install takes. Then if you go to their forums and ask about how to get a software up and running thats not working properly and they just tell you to not use the software. I mean wow, thanks I guess. And this is just talking about a tech savvy user like me who has experience with linux already. I have seen new users getting bullied into tears in the arch community just because they didn't knew what fstab was etc. How about suggesting the poor soul one of the numerous GUI apps so they dont have to use terminal if they dont like it, or dont have to go around manually editing fstabs and what not?

A reason I feel like non-programmers, especially privacy focused ones, should switch to Linux is that it completely lacks the corporate spyware/bloatware present in Windows and MacOS, it provides much more options for low spec PC's, and it doesn't force you onto updates.

​​​@@rishab.kumarjhaHey no hard feelings mate,use whatever suits your workflow,i reckon that you just want to use linux for getting familiar with the terminal and programming in general. Though can be achieved in any distro,if you truly want to speed up the process of getting familar with the terminal using tiling/window manager like 'dwm',though it will be kind of harsh at first, they'll force you to basically use the terminal. Though I wouldn't recommend making it your primary system from day one,you need time to get used to it. Your present setup which i think is kde+arch wouldn't "force" you to use the terminal, you'll in most instances use the comfortable GUI that the setup offers. I myself don't even use arch on a daily basis.Currently i use Ubuntu MATE,which is basically Ubuntu with the MATE desktop environment. Though this shouldn't undermine my suggestion,it takes a lot of "courage" to settle down to a distro xD.

I think arch is rather easy than other distros out there for users who want the bleeding edge, AUR is just amazing, also cursed, but amazing.

Let me tell you cons and pros; Pros : Customized installation (no bloats preinstalled) Can be tweaked easily Huge community support and very concise wiki page (I'd say best wikis out there) More frequent updates Shoutout to AUR Makepkg is awesome Arm kernels are really stable Custom kernel can be tweaked like linux-zen , linux-rt-lts , etc.. Dev tools are also easily available on pacman Cons: Customized that's why little difficult to install (but shoutout to archinstall) Rolling releases that may often break Personal issue: when updating certain components this may break the system due to chain dependencies To frequent updates cause pile of time to invest even if you have to update firefox Major issue is linux kernel changes reflect often on it , as the intel backlight support has been modified i had to add the kernel arguments like acpi_backlight=vendor There are lot of issues with vulkan drivers and also amd graphics card Major issue I'd say i felt is security issue like anyone can access and modify root password with just bootable media (not even the archiso but any media ) it's hell easy so not adding SELinux like rhel is I'd say biggest disadvantage

Arch is not overhyped. For me, it is a preferred distribution because you learn to use it, rather than just use it without learning. You decide what to do, and honestly, documentation is amazing.

Arch just breaks too much and I need stability

I think like bro switched just recently installed via archinstall and called it a day after hearing about install process of arch from others to satisfy his own ego. This feels like a low effort clickbait post aimed at arch users. Pls don't post such "shit" :) . None of the things you discussed were relevant, you probably using windows before this month and switched after hearing someone say "To get better at terminals you need to use linux". I would recommend not making any videos about the topic until you get a bit experienced. Things that make arch good include the wiki which you would have realised if installed arch manually, and the package management, none of which were mentioned here.
