    everything is simple once you know how to do it. i think a lot of the arch recommenders likely don’t realize how difficult some of these things can be the first time. it’s the same with any kind of specialized knowledge i think. it’s one of the reasons why teaching can be difficult. but the arch community has been super helpful in my experience

      It’s a general problem with the community in my experience. People keep saying it’s “simple”, then whip 3 terminal commands out of their pocket nobody without extensive knowledge would understand (or be able to tell if they do something wrong). They just don’t realize how much knowledge they possess in comparison, and/or how little others are interested in gaining said knowledge (not because they’re ignorant, but simply because they got other priorities in life).

      The community really needs an “injection of normies” for some people to wake up from their elitism trip.
