Is creator of Arch linux the owner of this group?
Why would I decide which distro one should use?
Any Arch distribution other than Manjaro uses Arch’s repository, we can help with that too can’t we?
The additional repo, the additional tooling, the automated GUI installer, … how many things do you want?
So it’s best to add your own distribution to your question, right?
If I get any package lets say gimp or libreoffice then will it be different from same package from Arch repo?
Often times the people do not know that they want, let alone what they need. I didn’t know back then, but now i am less uneducated on the topic and i can be thankful for having gotten actual help – which is probably different.
If i had simply followed youtube tutorials back then, i’d still be doing it now and i would be also memorizing commands.
You journey is not the journey of everyone.
In which case, EndeavourOS is what they should be using. Don’t make people use Arch when there are more appropriate options.

No they can also use Arch infact many people are using it without learning from wiki with the help of others. We should not decide how other should live their life.
If you mean the Arch Linux Leader, no he isn’t here. But there are several Arch developers, trusted users and staff in here, even this group not being official.
hmmm i think you mentioned a key idea here: non tech people.
The way i think, which is of little importance, of course, by becoming an arch user you inevitably become a little more technical than before. I feel a lot more technically able now after a couple of years using arch. And TO ME this is indeed what arch is about. My journey is different from other people’s, but imho, if you do not enjoy reading the wiki, maybe other distros will fit you better than arch.
But you are deciding how they should live! You’re making them use Arch!

I have not said whether antivaxx are right or pro vaxx are right. I just said that both part think that other party is wrong.
No, person is asking himself that he wants to use arch then only I am helping. Why would I decide which distro one should use?
Yes, but it also not very much different from Arch.
this is your PERSONAL only view
it’s another distribution, run by different persons, with different packages, different repositories.
it’s another distribution.
You’re allowed to provide recommendations based on your experience. If someone doesn’t know which distro to use I’ll give them options depending on their experience, use-case, how interested they are in learning and continually maintaining an installation, etc. etc. etc.
Arch is not the best distro for everyone.
In the appropriate channels
it’s another distribution, run by different persons, with different packages, different repositories.
it’s another distribution.
So kernel is different. Gimp installed in Endeavor OS is different? There are little difference but most parts are same.
As someone who contributes to EnOS and frequents their forum etc. I can assure you that EndeavourOS is not Arch. It is an Arch derivative.
Arch is not the best distro for everyone.
We are allowed but I would not prefer if someone is not asking.
it’s another distribution, whatever you install in that, it’s the maintainers decision, not Arch’
I know that is why I said little different. But tell what part is different? Kernel, DE, Application softwares are mostly same.
I never said it is exactly same. I said mostly same.
The additional repo, the additional tooling, the automated GUI installer, … how many things do you want?
There will be default settings based on the installation media, some of which may not apply to desktop systems
If I get any package lets say gimp or libreoffice then will it be different from same package from Arch repo? Installer do nothing once user starts using installed system. From the perspective of use experience is similar (not exactly same)
Arch should be the same if using desktop software and the default settings (I don’t mean your distro’s custom settings)
If your basis for comparison is end-user software then all distros are “mostly the same”.
Please accept that your perspective is wrong, and that derivatives are not Arch.
