no way, sadists use gentoo. i vastly prefer arch because i often need libraries that are newer than most package managers get in a timely fashion. i use fedora on my server for the opposite reason, but for my workstation, arch wins easily.
a linux beginner would probably need to be a sadist to use arch, but anyone who knows what they’re doing will have a fine time.










everyone thinks they can pull it off just fine, but believe me, it’s not a bad bet that your IT dept knows better than to bend to someone just dangerous enough to be a problem. it’s probably happened before and that’s probably why the policy is in place.
