There is no sense of pride. Every text/code editor has key combinations that many users will learn eventually. Vim has easier key bindings.

They must be proud of Elixir.

I use mainly fish and occasionally nushell.

If it’s your first distro, then it might be an overkill.

I’d first start out with a readymade distro, because maybe it already fits your needs and wants. If you get to a point where you spend a lot of time on rebuilding your setup or distro-hopping, then Arch can be considered.

(Not because you are lazy. I’m lazy, too, but maintenance isn’t much work, unless you’re running updates too infrequently. You should check the news before updating. Many users don’t and even then when you “break” something, it’s not too difficult to identity the problem and fix it with the great help of ArchWiki, the community and chroot.)

#1 finds ways to not give you a solution despite having one. #2 finds ways to give you a solution despite not having any.

I don’t know the current state of Debian installation. But not too long ago, installing Arch Linux felt much easier lmao

It can be worth the effort, if the tool fit your needs and wants in the first place.

In my opinion taking your time to find the Linux distribution you like the most, is not only a great learning experience, but also allows you to learn more about your own preferences.

I’ve never seen a more mysterious and adventurous description of Linux. Just in case you ever write a novel on your first steps in Linux, you should know that you’ve got one reader already.

I prefer CLI for many applications, because GUIs have become more difficult and overwhelming to use.
