From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Arch is the distro for people who don't know enough to realize all distros are basically the same but want to feel like they "know Linux" because they have to fix a bunch of stuff (spoiler: you can just read manuals of things without having your OS randomly break them)
The only time I've ever had to fix a bunch of stuff was when I was new and neglegent in my first arch install. What's with all this mouth frothing tribalism? This bmost popular arch-based distros are essentially problem free and user friendly.
I've been on Cachy on my laptop and desktop and the only downtime I had was swapping from a Nvidia GPU to an AMD. Even then the process was well documented, easy, and risk free with snapshots.
"ARch Is tEH"... Blah blah blah say something useful.
