From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Or just use a distro that sets everything up for you.
Seems like anything is the solution except that in your mind, lol.
Glad we have option 😎
You didn't even get my point but had the audacity to write that second sentence :-/
Your point was that users can use arch install scripts to automate some of the setup process.
I countered by saying they could just use a distro that has an installer integrated directly into it.
I also added that in your mind, there is no legitimate reason to use an arch derivative. This highlights your bias.
What was I missing, exactly?
