But it is up to the user to be aware of what they are installing. This goes for any OS. Be aware of what you are installing.
This can happen on any OS you install software willy nilly with no thought behind it.
Arch has been the least limiting experience I have had with Linux thus far.
You wanna delete system files, do it, I dare you. Oh, it broke your system? Okay, not a problem. I haven’t encountered a situation it wasn’t recoverable. You wanna test bleeding edge custom kernels with drivers that are the newest available? Done.
If you’re afraid of reading, troubleshooting, and trying new things to test your mettle? Yeah, go with something else.
There is very little I haven’t been able to do with my Arch setups. I ditched Windows, and can’t go back.
