    First time Linux user

    Knows nothing about the choices you make in Arch to personalize your system

    “Yes, Arch is the one for me! Because I know everything about Linux already.”

    Soon: “I don’t know why X is happening on my system”

        Just because SteamOS is based on Arch now doesn’t mean that using SteamOS teaches you anything about using Linux or Arch specifically.

        The SteamDeck literally obfuscates most of it and you have to choose to boot into desktop mode to even mess with anything.

      He doesn’t need to keep his system working, he can probably pay someone for that. He needs something that will maximize engagement, and a million “I use arch BTW” comments is exactly what he wants.

        I don’t think that was the goal cause he didn’t post like a post, it’s a story. Engagement on it is not visible and as far as I’m aware, it doesn’t boost anything.

        Also Linux would be the last place any influencer would go for engagement farming.
