CachyOS has been flawless on my S/O's desktop. From an easy install to plenty of documentation available, I couldn't have asked for much more. During install, there's an entire step dedicated to checking a box if you want to play games. (To enable non-free drivers).
I don't think it was a poor choice.
Flawless wouldn't require any documentation.
Everything requires some documentation.
There are instructions on your McDonalds coffee that say, "This coffee is hot."
You might feel as though no documentation is necessary here, but clearly it was a critical miss for someone.
Are you saying McDonalds Coffee is flawless?
Non, monsieur. He is saying that any prosuct, whether flawless or not, must have proper information about it, since we are not born knowing how to use Windows, either.
They didn't say it required documentation, they said it had plenty of documentation should you need it.
And I'm telling you to grab a dictionary and lookup what flawless means
Just a heads up- You appear to be interpreting things in a strictly literal sense.
Some people might view this as trolling.
That’s so passive aggressive it’s impressive.
Damnit, you're right!
But for real, I think you misunderstand the point of documentation. Even if something were truly, literally flawless, having documentation would still be a net gain. It isn't only to fix something when it goes wrong, but explains how things are working. If the only way for something to be literally flawless in your world view is for it to be so self explanatory that an idiot seeing it for the first time still understands it perfectly, nothing in computing can be flawless in that way.
The pedantry on this point is so unhelpful as to be actively harmful to the rest of the discussion.
I distro hop regularly, still have to see that one 'flawless' distro, or system for that matter.
Agree.
Pfft Ubuntu has existed for years.
