What is Arch BTW . Is it good ? A lot of Linux users seem to use the BTW version of Archlinux but I couldnt find a BTW version anywhere.

(except I'm a Snap hater)

TBF snap is the fucking worst

but any distro that is primarily associated with a company doesn't really fit the Arch ethos of a fully community developed project. So a lot of anti-corp and freedom maxxers use it.

That makes sense. In theory Debian is my favorite just because of their form of organization but in practice Ubuntu or Mint are much easier ways to get people out of the Microsoft pipeline because of accessibility and significantly better ethics. Debian and Arch are more practical after some Linux experience is gained.
