This.
BSD and Solaris are best Linux.

Why are you comparing them is the question.

Gentoo is a million time better than Arch.

Arch uses nothing but newage hipster crap broken software like Systemd and doesn't test anything but rather recklessly throws shit into their repos as soon as the newest version out like idiots.

install gentoo

Basically, it's the user's responsibility. Has its ups and downs. For desktop users, the downs aren't very significant in practice.

You know what that entire section is?

"It's YOUR fault. Don't blame us, we didn't do anything! Everything is YOUR fault. Try to blame something on us? Nope! It's your fault, why are you so stupid?"

If I had a nickel for everytime I have seen arch users and even devs themselves extremely rudely and belligerently berating a user and telling him something is his fault when it actually is not I'd have probably like 2 dollars or something.

It sucks on top of that anyway. There are some things that you're just not realistically changing yourself manually, init system, huge packages with a million dependencies like DEs, and essential packages are sone of them.

It also only gives you the choice of one thing in the repos. Look at the gentoo repos, they might have like 12 different versions of a program you want ready to install, with arch they throw a package in the repos and fuck you if the newer version breaks something it's going to be the only one in the repos regardless of bugs or incompatibilities/breakage because "hurr bleeding edge", have fun compiling an older version yourself.

Realistically you can also not check to make sure whether or not when you upgrade a ton of packages that none of them will break beforehand, that's something you leave up to the distro itself, and you just can't rely on Arch for that.

Do you seriously not know this
All modern linux distros use the free space in RAM as a disk cache to vastly speed up disk access. The disk cache doesn't "take up" any space per se because as soon as you need the memory it will free some up for you, since it's completely optional to keep a disk cache.
Keeping a disk cache speeds a system up, no 2 ways about it.

Unused RAM *is* wasted RAM. What's the point in having fast storage that you could be using for caches and hash tables if you're not using it at all? Since the OS is willing to give that space in RAM up to anyone who so much as looks at it with puppy-dog-eyes, it's really doing no harm in using it.
