    I’ve used vim for so many years now that it blows my mind when people act like it’s difficult to use.

    The same thing with installing Arch and even Gentoo … if you’ve got good experience with something like redhat/centos and can read documentation it’s a breeze.

      What? A task gets easier the more experience you got with it? I think you’re in for a Nobel price or something.

        Ha, I’m aware it was stating the obvious, but I never found vim difficult in the beginning either. I was given a “linux cheat sheet” and then told to bugger off and do stuff… vim took maybe 15-20 mins before I was comfortable.

        The hardest part was learning how my company’s ancient software worked honestly, which even after six years there was still intimidating and baffling at times.

      Installing Arch really is not what it’s made out to be anymore. Bootstrapping a system manually is like a half hour affair for me (maybe). It’s just fixing systemd-boot because inevitably I misconfigured it. And for people who don’t even wanna do that, archinstall.
