I was thinking something similar. I use Arch because it’s easy and user friendly for me. I also come from a history of using Slackware in the mid-90s, to Gentoo in the mid-00s, to Arch in the mid-teens. So whenever anyone asks how I got to where I am with Linux, I generally recommend that they don’t follow the same path of pain, and start on something that’s actually user-friendly like Mint or Ubuntu.
Glad I’m not the only one haha… I am similar to you: Started on Linux with Slackware 95 distributed via Walnut Creek publishing and mailed “gasp”. make menu;make menuconfig ftw! I still use Slack at home, but am a RHEL and SuSE guy by trade.
Slackware users… You young kids, pffft.
