AFAIK, arch never pretended to cater to new linux/cli users, I’ve always read it as a recommandation for advanced (or at least comfortable with reading docs and using CLI) users.
My first time using arch required me following the arch wiki for install and when I finally got a working system (I’m as bad at following tutorials as I am at following cooking recipes) the
pacman
commands were not something I struggled with.But yeah coming from Debian where I had the gloriously intuitive
apt
syntax, I get your point.Advanced users would still benefit from good design.
I do agree, I’m just not surprised it wasn’t done this way at the start and I’m not bothered enough by it to want a change.
