Arch Linux’s AUR is still operational, while new account registration appears blocked during ongoing cleanup work.

    These days it’s very small. Most people just wanna use Arch because it’s cool.

    While I do wholeheartedly think it’s by far the best distro, I also frequently recommend Mint for newbies if they don’t enjoy learning on their own.

      In my case you can unironically blame Valve. I wanted an Arch-based distro to stay as close to SteamOS as possible but I have an nvidia GPU for the foreseeable future (unless I win the lottery or something).

        Try CachyOS or just do like me and use their repo + kernel on Arch
