From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So you've acknowledged the same issue, and instead of offering a solution to their issue, you decide to criticize them. They even said they've used Arch for 5 years. That's not a small amount of time to be using an OS. You are what's wrong with the Linux community, not OP.
OP already said their issue was resolved. My response is to the amount of grit OP is showing in their reaction.
As you like. The grit to find and create one's own answers is what started the platform. Use it or not, blame the ones who came before you or find your own answers. It's all up to you. I'll be nothing more than an unpleasant memory in a day or two.
