Arch Linux is suddenly the butt of a lot of memes? (lemmy.world)

Over the past couple of weeks, I've seen a lot of content that's ripping on Arch Linux, from pictures of stickers being removed from laptops, to comments about it having a lot of bloat or frustrating package management. Was there a change to their policies, strategies, or distro that has turned this once proud vessel into a floating psycho ward?

I consider it the Linux version of "How can you tell someone is vegan? They'll tell you."

(I use arch, btw)

As an Arch-using vegan, ...I have no retort.

(I use arch, btw (also I'm vegan btw))

Are you also an airline pilot by any chance?

How long since you last compiled the kernel?

I installed arch back in the day when I was at university. It was neat, but I had classes and needed to be able to get work done and use wifi, so I installed Ubuntu.
