Tell me you've not used arch much, without telling me you've not used arch much.

As an arch user and a German heavy main, this actually feels fair. Both are capable machines but neither are going to maintain themselves, both come with an entire manual you're expected to read, and nobody will be sympathetic to you if you don't know the basics of what you're doing (rotate the steel box for fucks sake).

Now comparing the StuG to Manjaro, that hurts.

Beyond the initial setup, Arch has become quite easy to maintain if you have some Linux erperience, mostly because the community has grown a lot in the past few years. Still wouldn't recommend it to a complete beginner in most cases.

Now, which fucking tank doesn't require regular maintenance or come with instructions you're expected to remember?
