But the AUR is (was?) the much tauted reason to use it! I had a pretty bad time with Arch and its derivatives, but I wonder if Arch + flatpak + distrobox (steamOS, basically?) could be great these days. Probably.
Isn’t this exactly what OP is saying though? Some people don’t want to have to read docs to use their computer. When was the last time a MacOS user opened the MacOS docs (whatever the hell that is)
Stay away from the AUR and arch is fine. Calm down

Fuck the AUR. The documentation is the reason to use arch.
The Arch docs are great, I read them all the time. But I don’t even use arch, they are pretty universal.

I use ubuntu and I don’t think I ever read docs
Actually, I had to remove snap once.
Granted, I am and was familiar with the basics of linux due to having a raspberry pi.
