    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”

      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.

      Assuming that’s not some default config I just don’t know, that’s actually a rather competently built config for i3 or similar. If he did that hinself he should manage.
