I’ve met Arch users who will confidently tell me untruths about Linux in general and have no idea how to even approach solving problems beyond copypasting instructions from the Arch wiki or forums.
“What happened?” I dunno
“What did you do?” I just ran “echo…” (Or some other meaningless command)
“Do you have logs?” No, what are those?
“Please at least tell me the versions of the things you are running” How do I get that information?
I guess it speaks to the stability of Arch that it can attract users who have no idea what they are doing and still work. But it does also speak volumes about the image it has as an elite distro that makes you look like a Linux expert without actually being one.
