Honestly the skill level for Arch is kinda overblown nowadays.

You can use Archinstall and get a full desktop and a pretty hands off experience if you don’t go around tweaking any lower level system stuff.

And if you’re extra lazy (like me) Endeavour or Cachy makes the minimal setup even more streamlined with good default settings. But you still get the AUR and fast updates, which I assume it what the average user wants more than complete control over how their system is setup.

Am I the only weirdo who updates their system when they’re about to log off for the night?

Then again I also only update like once a week…sometimes every 2 weeks if I forget.

Same goes if you’re running Firefox.

I once had Hotmail take forever to get past the loading screen, then actually navigating my mail was hellishly slow. Switched my user agent to Edge and “magically” it loaded instantly and everything was snappy…

Had a few other sites do similar slowdowns but that and Youtube were the most unashamedly blatant.

From personal experience…
