Because it often is very accessible already, just that people expect it to work the same way as Windows and assume that means accessibility when it really is just muscle memory from many years of using Windows.

Edit: Arch users are a tiny group… most people that do “arch elitism” actually don’t run vanilla Arch themselves and just do it for the lulz I think… since it has become some sort of meme.

I don’t disagree, but that argument is limited. First, because someone has to be the person asking on the forums: (at least) one person will have to go to great lengths to find the answer for what is not documented in advance. Second, because you don’t always have internet access to perform a search. Third, because documenting well-known quirks and patterns helps build a better understanding on how things fit together and what painpoints can be addressed as a project.

I was serious about my question. Apart from FreeBSD, do you know of a distro that comes with a comprehensive manual? I really like the Debian admin handbook but i believe it’s a shame this has to be done by “external” contributor (it’s not a core project to the distro) and certainly does not cover all parts of the system unfortunately.
