    I didn’t say group 2 did it accidentally, I said they pretend that the specific skillset required to install Arch via terminal somehow means they’re certified professional IT.

    All you know is how to use a CLI specifically with Linux syntax, that’s a good start but it’s somewhat like pretending you’re a mechanic because you know how to change a tire.

      i meant accidentally as hyperbole. The point being if you managed to install arch manually that you had some level of knowledge. Or at least gained it through the experience.

      I’d say it’s more like pretending you’re a mechanic while having a fairly comprehensive understanding of how cars work. The difference here is the environment, and the experience. You aren’t gonna become an IT professional unless you’ve had years in the industry or “certification” anyway. But you can certainly roll your own maintenance if you tried.

      That is also downplaying a manual install of arch quite a bit, but that’s beyond the point.
