I've found two things to be true after moving to Arch:
The users on forums and other help boards are actually quite willing to link directly to the thing you should have read before starting a new thread and are generally polite about it.
The Arch Wiki is really that good, so you should read it.
I have had nothing but good experiences with the arch community. They legit want to help.
Can't say the same myself unfortunately. The community was one of the main reasons I moved to Gentoo. I've had so many bad encounters on the Arch IRC channel, they often made me feel like a complete idiot for not knowing certain things. On Gentoo on the other hand the community has very knowledgeable people but they don't feel 'elitist' about it and are in fact very kind and helpful.
That’s unfortunate. I’m glad you found your place though!
