the sysadmins dont want you to know this but there are ports below port 20. nobody knows what they do, physicists suspect it might be related to dark matter. the government agencies scrub all mentions of these ports off the open internet. i am revealing all of this to you at great risk to my life,

Hold on, why are people recommending this as a beginner distro now?? Politics aside, this is still Arch. This is still a rolling release system. I myself don't mind running one (I use arch btw) but you can't just give a beginner an Arch-based distro with a bunch of bash scripts […]
