Do people get Arch as their first distro and succeed in using it?
Depends alot on the person
I went straight to arch but i also program and system admin so.. I dont feel hurt having to read
Unless we're talking SteamOS or similar, then it just sounds like disaster waiting to happen.
Some do. Not many.
EndeavourOS was my first, but not the same as naked Arch I guess
Pfft, amateur. My first was some version of red hat (2? 2.1?) that took me almost a week to download, then I had to compile it, and then load onto, like, eight floppies.
I can’t even tell you how many attempts I made before I actually succeeded in getting it to install, but it was one of the more traumatic experiences of my teenage years.
Slack 2 or 3 here I couldn't get it to install because it didn't have CD ROM drivers that worked with mine. Little did teenage me know I could have just copied the disk images to floppies but neither the sound or CD would have worked. I actually just installed it on a VM in Proxmox a couple weeks ago though. Now my windows 3.11 can telnet into my slack 2.3 box because why not.
Slackware 1.0 was at least 1-2 years later and a huge leap forward. Even Red Hat 2.5 was a major leap because it was the first Linux distributable that was pre-compiled and feee to download. It was also bundled with X.org and gnome desktop. That was a big deal at the time. The open source community was very political, even back then.
My college roommate told me to wipe my os and install arch not thinking I would do it but I did, and that was 14 years ago. It's a fun experience but these days I just wanna throw a fedora ublue distro on stuff and use that.
So far arch is my first and only distro. I moved to linux a year ago and decided to just jump in with Arch. I havent had any major issues.
I don't know. I did.
