man I knew this was going to be rough when I saw him wearing a vegan shirt but god DAMN

"All Arch users are stupid vegan crossfitters who never shut up and contribute nothing to society and the only thing they ever care about is making their desktop look l33t and Arch is a horrible distro and did I mention all Arch users are stupid?"

Oh. My. Sides.

I switched from Ubuntu to Arch because I was sick of packages not compiling due to a complete lack of dependency management. I use stock KDE with zero frills and I spend most of my time hacking on open source projects. I never tell anyone what OS I use (unless they ask for recommendations for their new machine, and I'm prepared to also tell them why I personally prefer it) because they don't care. I'm a normal guy who keeps myself to myself and hates the people who think a pretty desktop is more important than a usable system just as much as everyone else.

However, I use Arch, and Arch bad, which means I must be the most annoying person on the planet.

You gotta take this less personally.

As an open source maintainer I notice the trend that Arch uses are simultaneously the most likely to have caused the issue themselves and are always the first to blame my software.

I think these memes stem from the fact that a lot of Arch users are less experienced and spend a lot of time trying to create the "perfect" customized experience. Using Arch is a great way to get the experience, but it can be at the detriment of others sometimes.

Basically, learn to take it on the chin and move on. There's some truth to the memes.
