Not quite true! What sets Arch appart is the aspect of technical
simplicity but yet powerful.  I have to say what turned me on to Arch
also what I found to be good write-ups on the Arch wiki on how to set
up certain items for which I wasn't quite sure how to do.  After all,
we all started out as beginners at some point.  Sure, Arch isn't a
turn-key system like some others are but at the same time what stands
out a good true community is when people help out and answer questions
and head people in the right direction to RTFM most efficiently.  The
arogance demonstrated with the beginning line of this quoted message
is an ice cold way to turn people away from a good powerful distro the
first time they run into snags.

I don't like the demonstrated attitude but I sure as hell am not gonna
leave Arch.  The arch way is better than that.
