    you forgot about the part of the arch community where we forcibly require arch users to manually install arch linux. You don't just wake up and accidentally install arch linux manually, you have to know what you're doing, even if being a bumbling idiot during the process, you're still doing it the hard way.

    Jokes aside, arch by nature is more tempting to "real linux users" the average "i use linux kid" is going to use kali or something.

    I didn't say group 2 did it accidentally, I said they pretend that the specific skillset required to install Arch via terminal somehow means they're certified professional IT.

    All you know is how to use a CLI specifically with Linux syntax, that's a good start but it's somewhat like pretending you're a mechanic because you know how to change a tire.

    i meant accidentally as hyperbole. The point being if you managed to install arch manually that you had some level of knowledge. Or at least gained it through the experience.

    I'd say it's more like pretending you're a mechanic while having a fairly comprehensive understanding of how cars work. The difference here is the environment, and the experience. You aren't gonna become an IT professional unless you've had years in the industry or "certification" anyway. But you can certainly roll your own maintenance if you tried.

    That is also downplaying a manual install of arch quite a bit, but that's beyond the point.

    There was a day, when I woke up and accidentily installed Gentoo. It is so sticky, still running on my PCs since more than 15 years.

    it was simply meant to be. You cannot question it now.
