      Some Linux ditros are from the US, could be a no-go for some. The Linux HQ is also located in the US btw.

        yeah, the meme isn’t “you should use arch btw” it’s “i use arch btw” which is exactly what this list says.

      I don’t work in IT or anything, but if I had to guess, they are just following what privacy guides say. Here’s an excerpt:

      Arch Linux is a lightweight, do-it-yourself (DIY) distribution, meaning that you only get what you install. For more information see their FAQ.

      But they recommend Fedora before that.

      P.S: I don’t condone it, just trying to shed some light as to why.

          Sorry, I could have expressed myself more clearly. All I meant to say is, based on this website, you don’t see them recommending ANY type of Linux distro, but they recommend Fedora at the top of the page and Arch.

          It’s not that they are against other Linux distros, but then they share their reasons for recommending those 2 specifically
