   A novice PC user came to r/ArchLinux asking what *is* #ArchLinux and what's the purpose of using it over #Windows.

   Surprisingly, they got plenty of respectful and helpful answers 😲

   I guess some subreddits are more civilized than others...

     @freakazoid Yes, they're mean only towards Arch derivatives 😂

     @codewiz The Arch community is the opposite of what I would have expected for a "hardcore" Linux distro. Though it's not at all surprising if you've read their docs.

     @freakazoid Yeah, right! Those stupid derivatives... with their useless installers and desktop environments working out of the box! 😡

     #ArchLinux derivatives are for lazy users who won't even learn how to connect to WiFi from the cli :troll:
