There’s no way you’re so new to Linux that you wouldn’t know if that would update automatically yet you’re running Arch btw. That’s like saying, “Do I need to do oil changes on my car? I built my engine, btw.”
all you have to do to “run” arch is type out some lines from a YouTube video and press enter. With all the people saying “Arch! Arch!” at every corner it’s totally understandable that someone would try it and still be confused on basic stuff.
Nah, there’s a bunch of people (even on Lemmy) that recommend Arch or Arch-derived distributions to newbies. Many mention they haven’t used any other distro themselves.
People are nuts
I once had someone tell me that they use Arch on there server since it is stable. If it works that is fine but don’t go around telling people that Arch is more stable than Ubuntu, Rocky or Debian.
They would still have to go through that ridiculous install following the Wiki, so I think that they are be pretty well educated on updates.
Depends. There’s also the included
archinstallscript, which skips all of that. Just some minimal configuration you find on most distros (Language/Time Zones/Mirrors…) and that’s it.So yeah, nowadays it’s totally possible to end up with a working Arch installation without knowing anything about it besides that one command.
Fine, I’ll install Arch (btw). You can stop trying to convince me now.
Arch stereotype is over with archinstall and direct step by step tutorial. You don’t need to know how new release get updated to install arch
