I feel like the only "good" distributions nowadays are Arch and NixOS (everywhere else, you become a construction worker every time you want a slightly niche program), while both having shitty stereotypes about users. And Arch currently only properly works on amd64. And NixOS's model isn't for everyone...

    What’s wrong fedora? I’ve barely used it but it’s what I usually recommend to non tech savvy people, specificially the kinoite version (KDE + atomic updates).

    Oh, nothing wrong with Fedora specifically. I also recommend Fedora KDE to people like this.

    But, imagine you saw someone use a project somewhere online you want to try and it's not popular enough to be in the repos. Now you have to git clone --depth 1 --recursive blah blah blah, source ~/cflags.sh, mkdir build, cd build, cmake .., make -j4...

    Doesn't sound difficult. But over time, your home directory becomes FULL of random ass git repositories. AND your /usr/local/bin is full of outdated stuff, sometimes overwriting updated stuff in /usr/bin. Having the AUR reduces that significantly.
