Linux user complaining about having to add repositories manually in order to get a piece of software to update or to add a tool they need.

Me as an any operating system user. Both have draw backs that aren't for normal people.

Adding repos is a one time thing that takes like 10 minutes tbf. And even then there are gui tools for that funny enough.

Ten minutes? What are you doing for the other eight? Basking in the warmth of a job well done?

I use EndeavorOS which draws from Arch repositories including AUR. I've never once had to manually add a repository.

Not knocking you but there is also a reason the "I use Arch memes" exist.

Because we want everyone to know how SUPERIOR arch (and derivates distro) is so they can get in the fun? 😁 /j

Cool. Don't care.... Just pointing out that the person is wrong.
