I bought an “analog” washing machine (I can’t believe I just wrote that) because of simplicity. The more complicated something is, the more difficult it is to repair, and the more potential points of failure there are.
I was thinking the same thing. We’ve actually surpassed Apple on desktop. I know we’re gonna laughingly say “year of the Linux desktop,” but we have to honestly look how far we’ve come in a relatively short time.
Yeah, honestly you can replace Arch with Gentoo. Arch is for when you don’t have a life for an afternoon or two while you’re getting set up. After that it’s smooth.
