I assume the reason why people allegedly say this is because they think others will think they're le ebin 500 IQ 1337 h4x0rm4n. I have never, in all my life, been able to understand why someone would try to imply that them using Arch somehow makes them a 1337 hackerman. I installed it a few years back, doing it "the Arch way" with the commands and everything. I'd only been using Linux for about 6 months at that point, yet it was still very easy to install. All it took was a laptop sitting on my desk next to me with the Arch wiki open, and manually copy-pasting commands onto my PC from my laptop. I couldn't believe how fucking easy it was.

>All you do is type a few commands and boom, your OS is now installed.
That experience just made me think Arch users are narcissistic retards that think typing:
$ pacstrap /mnt base
$ arch-chroot /mnt
$ pacman -S dwm
makes them some kind of 70 quadrillion IQ god-tier Linux user.
Here's my verdict on Arch:
Good distro.
Easier installation than the users would make you think (yes, even when installing it "the Arch way" and not with the install script).
Pretentious community that isn't as high IQ as they think they are.
