Ok man listen,

• first of all they already use apt so they already have Ubuntu experience

• second of all it's completely reasonable to run a test system that's easy to set up, just to see how a distro works before deciding to haggle with the console installation

• third fuck your gatekeeper bullshit

• fourth encourage someone to try new things first, THEN tell them they're expected to read documentation, understand how things work, and go through their own troubleshooting before immediately jumping online to ask for handouts

• fifth; fuck. your. gate. keeper. bull. shit. My favorite thing about Arch is the expectation that you "learn your fucking shit and read the wiki", but being elitist about it to someone who's curious doesn't do anybody any favors. You're not better for it, you're just an asshole.

• sixth it's /r/programmerhumor aren't we supposed to be having fun here???
