It's because it's bleeding edge, extremely well documented and extremely popular. Bleeding edge is exciting and you're gonna end up on the arch wiki anyway regardless of distro, so you may as well go to the source.
Do mind though it doesn't mean it's easy, like at all, and I fundamentally agree, there's a million better choices for first timers.
Idk if I would suggest Endeavour to a first time user. In my experience it has been perfectly stable and simple, except for some random boot time kernel panics, but the potential for an inexperienced user to break an install without at least some core concepts of a package manager, especially with the AUR, is certainly there.
TL;DR of the /home partition is this: One partition is gonna be the bootloader, typically a small /boot folder. This thing starts the booting process from efi, boot the kernel, this will mount the root partition (/). then, according to the File System TABle, typically a text file in /etc/fstab, you can mount whatever drives (and more!) Anywhere in the file system tree. A common setup is to partition your drive into a smallish / partition and a bigger /home partition. Under /home will be your /home/username folder, roughly the equivalent of C:\Users\username on windows, but even more of your install lives there now: any userspace application (usually a flatpak, which works crossdistro), ideally all user configuration, as well as of course your files. So, once you either need or want to switch distro, you leave the home partition untouched, format / and make a new user with the same username and home folder and bam, most if not all of your configuration and at least some of your apps will be there from the start You should probably do this, it's not too complicated and it may save the ou a headache in the future.
Used Sony 5 III was my play from the V30 and I'm honestly still kind of ambivalent about it. DAC not as good, 21:9 aspect ratio is just stupid. Great display, camera and size though.
Stallman was right all along.
Exactly, I don't get how these people are supposed to be UI UX experts but don't understand that inconsistent behaviour is a very fast way to confuse and break user trust.
Returning Arch user (absent since 2008/9) here, using Plasma Wayland. Overall a positive experience but there's lots of little finicky things to setup, and I haven't tried using linux-zen like in my EndeavorOS work laptop, I imagine that's a bit more finicky with DKMS.
Nothing out of the ordinary for Arch thus far though, just manual configuration.
He's decent enough to follow, but honestly his content is kinda mediocre. It's mostly reading off news of off aggregators, distro reviews (I don't really distrohop...), opinion pieces, and very surface level UI UX stuff (which is what he's passionate about, after all), mixed with the usual tuber tropes like padded top X lists, clickbaity titles and the like.
I don't even mind the clickbait, as a positive example I find NetworkChuckCoffee's videos interesting for example, despite having all the tropes. Much more of a "get shit done, learn things" type of approach, enough to dip your toes in any given concept, so then you can go off and understand it, learn it and add it to your toolbelt. Useful.
Which is made of mostly RH people.
This is one of the few things I really like about JS/TS. for (thing of things) is very legible and self documenting.
just make sure to never put it in ur anium.
I am this exact case and it's getting better. A month ago I installed Arch on my Nvidia desktop and it had multiple problems: returning from sleep, really bad cursor lag hitches, video would freeze at random, applications would flicker, etc. Nowadays most of it is gone, unfortunately the really bad freezes after changing resolution on monitors are still there though
