honestly, I've had arch on all my machines for 5y now. the install was simple, as long as you followed instructions to the letter.
the rolling release is beautiful. i never ever have to go through the install again
Used Arch for a few years as well. Recommending it to newcomers who do not specifically ask for a learning experience is just vile.
Specifying intent in the meme would've been too much text in my opinion though. In general I think unless specified one shouldn't expect newcomers to be into learning tech, but into ease of use.
And your shift key is still not working?
What is the best package for enabling capitalization?
I had this problem when I unplugged a keyboard while caps lock was on and my other keyboard didn't have a caps lock key. "ARCH DISABLE CAPS LOCK" is in my search history because I didn't wanna get up and get my other keyboard again.
I have a machine which has a much older installation. I've destroyed the pacman folder on the var partition accidentally which made my pacman stop working since it had no db and no idea of what packages were installed. I still managed to restore it with some weird scripts after that and is still working fine after like 2 years.
Arch is freaking resilient, but mostly because I didn't want to reinstall since everything else is working xD
You say that but when I tried it refused to connect to the internet no matter what I tried
