    I got pushed away from arch because of the constant RTFM answer to questions when trying to google solutions to problems. Half the time they wouldn’t even link the actual part of the manual they were talking about and just linked the whole thing to the person in question.

    Running gentoo now and couldn’t be happier with the community and how helpful people are.

      Yeah, I’m not on base Arch. I run Garuda Arch, it’s a quite polished derivative.
      Things that drew me to, and kept me on Garuda:

      1. Flavours in:
        -KDE(lite & several other KDE based including a gaming flavour with options for a bunch of preconfigured programs)
        -GNOME
        -Cinnamon
        -XFCE
        -SWAY
        -i3
        -Hyprland
        -A NixOS subsystem
        -COSMIC
      2. The forums are highly active, any issues that aren’t already covered in the forum the Devs are really quick to respond to. Think the longest I waited for a Dev or mod/admin to hop into a question I posted was 45mins.
      3. The gaming flavour’s preconfigured bits work exceedingly well OOTB

      If you’re feeling a hankering to distro-hop, I would highly recommend Garuda.
