Why are ppl always talking about arch and gentoo?
Discussion
Because they're hard to install and they break a lot and it's street cred to be able to say that you work on them.
Kind of like how people brag about being able to fix obscure old cars. Most people don't care, but in a certain niche community it carries weight.
Its a meme
They don't have graphical installers so some people might consider successfully installing either of these to be an achievement
Something being hard to install shouldn't be a flex tho...
Nerds smh..
