    I won‘t lie the Arch Wiki has not helped me once. Odd threads in the forums or 2 minute long Youtube videos, though? Couldn‘t make it without those.

        That‘s very curious to me because the Arch Wiki doesn‘t offer any answers to „I have this problem with this program, because I want it to do this thing here“. It only explains you endless pages of fundamentals that may or may not be related to your problem. I‘ve got a Computer to run so I search for the quickest solution to the many little quirks and problems Arch has. If I have to learn about software architecture fundamentals every time something comes up I wouldn‘t get anything done. My machine just has to do the tasks I need it for so most of that knowledge is kind of useless to me 99.9% of the time. Again, I don‘t want to tinker with my OS endlessly. I just want stuff to work. Luckily there has been at least one soul experiencing the same problem as me and already posted a solution. Don‘t get me wrong good documentation is crucial. I don‘t think any of this would work without it. But most users like me rely on giga nerds who can make sense of it and explain it efficiently.
