Preach. I love Linux. I run PopOS and have tried several distros. I ran Linux only from 2008-2013. It’s gotten so much better than it used to. But there is still so much to do if we ever want to reach mass desktop adoption.
A good goal to have. I’m super happy with the work Steam has done to make more games compatible. 5 years ago I’d say less than 5% of my library would have worked in Linux and now it’s closer to 60-70%!
Because it is specifically tailored for hobbyist users who would want to build their OS bottom up, stack-by-stack. In Arch world, they claim they strive for simplicity and that simplicity is achieved through forcing you to familiarize with every part of your system so that it is simple and easy for you to pin-point the root when an issue occurs. They put a lot of effort in writing a great documentation that the Arch wiki. Usually the BBS community don’t expect you to know everything but want to see that you did your own part before seeking community help. Please don’t read it as an excuse for the cockiness of some community members but plenty of times the users are at the fault. Answer to many questions on BBS are simply direct citations from the wiki. There is nothing wrong if someone is not willing to read that much just to get an OS working, but then they should just acknowledge that they don’t fall into the targeted user-base and stick to something else that suits their need better.

I just want to play modded games but at the same time not have Microsoft spy on me

Okay but have you been on the arch fourms? Sometimes people are nice and sometimes it’s “bro just read the wiki” when the user obviously already had.
The arch community is certainly an exception, not the rule.
bro just google it
