Yeah, I that nk a lot of people 'get it' but can't quite explain it. So they tell you they use arch and they they are excited about it.

I'm a pro, I've used basically every type of Linuxevwr made. Ive built and run linux from wcratch multiole times, as a lewrning experience, a teaching experience and even protypes for production systrms. I understand the packaging philosophies, I understand the opinionated administration decisions. I'm subscribed to most major distro mailing lists and i understand the political motivations that drive various teams to the different technical decisions.

Arch isn't for everyone. And I'm totally fine with that. But it is perfect for people who want to build something with well crafted and unopinionated tooling. Of everyone 'got' arch they'd be failing at what they ate trying to do.
