I have one as well, but let's not overpraise it. That handheld isn't a "ps4 as a handheld" (obviously since the vita came out 2012 or 2011 cant remember which). And sadly it struggles to play its generation's games (i.e. Borderlands 2 (one of my favs on vita) runs at 20-40 fps).

There are great games that showcase its abilities auch as the killzone game, but that was made for that system.

And let us not forget that it wasn't a successful handheld. There is a reason sony hasn't made a new handheld device since.

Didn't John McAfee (the antivirus guy turned crazy hillbilly) try to run for president from prison? I seem to remember something about that, but it may have been a fever dream.

Dude makes hour long (or longer) videos / (videoseries) about scientific topics, such as "America's missing supercollider" or "Man who tried to fake an element". And they are all done really well.

I agree Arch isn't magical. And I'm more than aware of the issues with the AUR, however i disagree that everything on there can be found by other means. There are several programs (such as optimus-manager for nvidia and integrated video card laptops) which are pretty much only found on the AUR (Not counting Github). Again this is about ease-of-use (Since you could build my example from github as well).

Obviously you can customize anything anywhere, what sets Arch apart is pacman and aur. And again in the case of Manjaro and EndeavourOS these and the wiki are the main "selling points".

Arch is just the easiest one to start from a very minimal system and build something up that's totally yours

Minimal ubuntu and fedora exists as well. And if you were to customise them you'd end up with something that you like as well. But i see what you are saying and i agree.

To answer your question: AUR. Aur is something that I love about Arch.

Also please stop gatekeeping. Installing Arch by hand instead of using something like EndevaourOS doesn't mean anything. I used EndevaourOS after using arch simply because it was way faster and easier to configure. It still has all the functionality of arch (since essentially it is arch).

If you don't want to spend the time to completely customize your system just don't use an Arch based system

Thats the thing. You can still customize everything and anything. I mean what's stopping you from using a tty and changing things? Also even the installer helps you customize a lot of things...

I agree completely.

As a sidenote: If somebody wants something easy-to-use that is arch-based I'd suggest EndevaourOS.
