From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So you admit that it's super rare you encounter these bad Manjaro users that have offended you so much, and then decide to make generalizations about the entire Manjaro community and the distro? Yes, you absolutely ARE the problem.
Let me put it this way. If in real life you went into a crowd of people, called them all stupid for being there, and told a few of them to go fuck themselves, you would get punched in the face. Just because you're on the Internet doesn't make this kind of behavior okay.
From this comment thread, I can already tell you simply don't understand why anyone would use a computer in a different way than you do. It's absolutely fine to be opinionated about how you want to run your personal machines, but to tell others so vehemently that they're wrong for wanting a different computing experience other than the one you've "deemed" correct...well that's just silly.
It's not wrong for someone to want something in between, say for example Fedora or Ubuntu, and Arch. Heck, the reason why so many Arch-derivatives exist is because a lot of people want it. You telling other people that they either go full-Arch or they're stupid IS gatekeeping.
Actaully, most people aren't violent psychopaths, so no, you don't normally get punched in the face for being rude to someone who is being rude to you. Maybe you should look into your own issues.
I'm glad the Reddit quality arguments have migrated to here. Thank you both for your comedic routine.
You're welcome.
