    so I was tinkering the other day and I found a great example of what arch doesn’t do that makes it difficult for new users. it doesn’t make default configuration files, even when you have it up and running just fine.

    so I’m like why isn’t this working as I expected, reading some Ubuntu documents showing that someone edited their config and that fixes it. i go to the directory and it’s only got a .example file. i copy it so it’s a .config and remove the # from the line that is supposed to correct the behavior and what do you know, it’s working now!

    that wouldn’t be something for a new user to resolve and gave me a fresh understanding of the difference in approach and why arch shouldn’t be a newbie system
