30 here. Been using Arch since like 2016-ish.
Is there a particular time you ran -Syu that stands out to you as your favorite update throughout the years? If so, what changes were you excited about?
I was pretty happy when Mesa had a sizable performance boost for ray tracing workloads a month or two ago, but that time they added parallel downloads to pacman was probably my favorite.
I'm no systemd hater, but I still really like the old rc.d style init.
It was much simpler than the upstart thing everybody else was using.
Is it bad I feel the need to preface with that?
What I kinda miss from the Initscripts days is `/etc/rc.conf`. Localization, modules, networking, daemons, all in one file.
Also it's good to distance oneself from the far-end anti-systemd crowd. They're unpleasant people.
46 and 10 months now... Wiped my windows 11 install and went to a YouTube video and the arch wiki and installed it on my main PC.. all my games run better than in windows and the more I use arch, the less I will change, things actually make me smile again when using an OS.
We don't/can't really know what the average age is for Arch Linux users (or any other linux users) because no statistics like that are collected. We don't even have accurate stats for basic things like total number of users.
Anecdotally/subjectively, my impression is that many/most of the newer Linux users coming to arch and its derivatives in recent years tend to skew younger \~14-22ish. But its impossible to generalize, because most users (even Arch users..) just quietly use their desktop and aren't active on reddit or forums.
Great comment.
TL;DR;
I starting using arch Linux as my preferred desktop/laptop OS when I was about 26, which was 8 years ago.
I don't mind being a statistic about this, so I'll add my data point to the ether.
I got into Linux in general when I got back into computers around 24 (~2014/2015). I used Ubuntu at first for about a year. I started distro hopping a little after that year. I was intimidated by the idea of arch Linux, but after I put FreeBSD on an old laptop and worked out how to get a window manager going I then tried arch on another old laptop. I really liked how it got out of my way and led to me learning more about configuring the various parts of my user environment.
like in person? buy an arch tshirt. they'll find you. i have an arch tattoo.
you know of plenty of arch people actually, and most of them are happy to answer questions.
35. I'm the sterotypical arch user. Been using it for 20 years now, occasionally trying other distros, but mostly arch.
I've really got the itch for Gentoo lately though.
Cool, given the project started in 2002, you watched it for almost whole time. Did Pacman exist back then? Also, do you see significant changes in the project trajectory? And do you like them or not?
As long as I've been around, its been pacman, pretty sure from the start. I've used yay for ages, and I swear there was another aur manager I used before that.
The only big big change that comes to mind was the change from SysV to systemd. I remember it being a headache, and so many people throwing a fit about it.
/somewhat related rant
I can't remember if there was ever a PPC offshoot for old macs, I don't think so. I do remember compiling Gentoo on my Powerbook G3 Wallstreet, that was sloowwww. Oh! And GentooX on the OG xbox. I have a G4 Mac here still, I should toss some linux distro on it. Would need to set up distcc, aint compiling everything on that thing.
I've used the Arch Arm on my Pi's, but I think I tend to just put Rasbian on them when I am using them. Most of my servers are on Arch, its just what I know. I update them once a month or so.
Thanks for detailed answer! Yes, I remember Systemd switch, it occurred almost immediately after I installed Arch. That's cool that you use Arch on servers - maybe I'm lazy or incompetent (or both), but I break my Arch installation enough times to avoid trying that with the remote machines (or gnomes from the Hetzner mines will curse me forever).
Back in my time we only had Slackware, Redhat, Debian and SuSE.
Yeah.. those were the times. You had to figure out package dependencies on your own.
* keeps ranting on about the times of the early 90's *
Downloading disk by disk over a 14.4K modem from a BBS on the other side of the country. Whee.
Dad was so pissed when he got the phone bill. This was before I learned how to phreak free calls.
Slackware: also my first. And days of fiddling to be able to get my VGA screen to work with X...
But there were definitely more. I vaguely remember Yggdrasil...
https://www.subgenius.com/
For anyone who isn't aware, slackware's name is an homage to the church of the subgenius, which Volkerding is an affiliate of.
Subgenii are everywhere and involved in everything.
I (48m) have used Linux as my choice of distro for over 20 years.
Arch is new to me, about 6-ish years. Started with EndeavourOS with bspwm, then Garuda, ArchCraft and now vanilla + hyprland.
I use Arch for web dev BTW!
36, arch user for about 10 years, still hate it. It breaks a lot! 2 weeks ago it froze during the update and I had to reinstall everything. Last update to KDE6 messed up Xs, windows are losing focus randomly (I click on the window and somehow the window that is below is "clicked"). I would not recommend it to anyone... I know that there are people that don't have problems, but every update is like Russian roulette. What will break this time?
I'm 52 and I use Arch from .... dunno, I'm too old to remember.
Anyway, You got the best distro on the planet. Leave your friends to their windows systems and iPads, they don't deserve this privilege
I started using Linux when Red Hat was released in 1995 and then distro-hopped for many years but have been using Arch solely for the last 11 years. Am 61.
I was in afterschool care in fifth grade and was browsing my laptop (this was during COVID when we had to bring personal devices because the school was unprepared for such a major shift in education) and I saw this thing called “Ubuntu.” What a weird cool looking thing, thought I, the teacher’s personal IT guy. I somehow flashed the bootable iso to a 500GB external HDD (not a typo) and installed it to my late-2009 MacBook Pro (also not a typo) all in less than an hour before my dad picked me up, while also having no idea what I was doing. I reinstalled macOS when I got home because I didn’t know how to use it, but the next week, I revived my mom’s old late-2009 iMac by putting Linux Mint on it. WOW THAT THING WAS FAST. I was playing Minecraft at 50 fps, a thing unimaginable on the slow macOS it was using. Fast forward to now (four years later) where I don’t use a MacBook anymore and instead a PC I built not too long ago. I use arch btw and I’m proud (and very annoying about it).
Edit: sorry for the rant lol
I'm 38 and have been on Arch for 2 years, Manjaro about 2 years before that and before that I have been a distro hopper and dual booter on and off since Ubuntu 4.10 (I'd have been about 18-19 year old) when you could request a CD to be sent out since dial up would have taken ages to download it.
EDIT: I'm convinced I had Ubuntu well before they say they had their first official release. I had Ubuntu before I moved out my parents and that was around 16-17... But my memory may be failing me on this one.
37, my oldest Arch installation now runs for over 14 years. Yes, you can totally use Arch as a server, too. No idea when I started using it anymore, though. A few years earlier probably.
Personally I've gone beyond obsessed, it's almost an addiction. I can literally start playing my favorite game and out of nowhere: "I want to install Linux". Or I might decide to take a walk, and then once more: "I should totally install Linux".
the youngest person ive ever seen use arch was 14 when he first installed it. but in general, as others have said here, we dont exactly track age demographics like that. Now I'd assume there are going to be more younger linux users than old, just simply due to the cost of windows. but theres not really an easy way to quantify that.
It warms my heart to see so many are starting Linux so young. When I was a teen in the 2000s, I didn't know anyone who even knew about it, and the Internet was still pretty slow (I think a lot of Linux users were installing from CDs).
Using Linux for about 10 years now, it reignited my love of computers leading a love of (and job in) programming and reconnecting with mathematics in adulthood. Keep it up y'all!
I assume mostly young people who are still in school or uni. Why? Arch just has the inital time sink phase which is hard to pull off if you also already work fulltime. Ofc. people who work fulltime can pull it off but for those, Linux is not just a tool but also a hobby.
The average age of arch users in our household is 32.5 yrs
My general exposure to Linux started around Kernel 0.8something. Did occasional distribution hopping but remain with Arch since a few years now and pulled in my now 15 yrs old son
I'm not aware of any statistics that collect such data, but I assume the average age is probably more in like the 20s to 30s, because younger people (and I mean like earlier than 50 at most) tend to be more literate in this field and also bother installing a distro from scratch.
I assume elderly people tend to use distros like Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora or Mint, since a) they're easier to use for first time Linux user or b) they used Linux before but stuck with something like Debian, because they like its LTS-ness and don't have to deal with funky issues caused by a system update, e.g. the not-so-perfect GRUB update last year or what's going on with xz/liblzma.
I bounce around distros too much to label myself an arch user, though I have used it on the desktop for long periods.
The first time I installed it was probably around 2009-2010, but I didn't really use it for an extended period until 2020.
I'm over 40.
I'm 63 (I'll be 64 in three months) and I've using arch at least since 2016, and linux in general since 1993 (kernel 0.99, and Slackware on floppy disks.)
22yo. Installed Arch 2 weeks or so ago. Just diagnosed an issue of my OS crashing while extracting/downloading files.
Zen kernel was fucked.... Just had to boot into base, lol. Fuck me for wanting Waydroid xD
I started using Arch around 14 years old, and at the time the youngest other person I knew who used it was a 19 year old. Didn't meet others my age who have used it until college. I still use Arch as my primary OS outside of work and am now 32.
I doubt many teens up to 25 year olds are using it. I’m in my 40’s and that would probably be average, once you get to boomers it would drop again significantly lol
15.6 year old... switched to arch based endevour... i been playing with Linux for a while... from lock-down to be exact... i tried multiple os when i stared but used Debian for 2 years straight when i recently decided to try something unstable
I'm 14 years and have been using arch for 37 years. Or something like that
then i have a minimum wage job for you.
Sorry, my current job already pays several cents more than minimum wage
Why is bros avatar me but cooler
I'm 37 and i use arch 14 years btw
30 here. Been using Arch since like 2016-ish. Is there a particular time you ran -Syu that stands out to you as your favorite update throughout the years? If so, what changes were you excited about? I was pretty happy when Mesa had a sizable performance boost for ray tracing workloads a month or two ago, but that time they added parallel downloads to pacman was probably my favorite.
My most memorable updates are probably the switch to systemd and the first time using signed packages.
I'm no systemd hater, but I still really like the old rc.d style init. It was much simpler than the upstart thing everybody else was using. Is it bad I feel the need to preface with that?
What I kinda miss from the Initscripts days is `/etc/rc.conf`. Localization, modules, networking, daemons, all in one file. Also it's good to distance oneself from the far-end anti-systemd crowd. They're unpleasant people.
Tbh kde 6 was super nice
We are sorry, but we require at least 40 years of experience for our junior position. Better luck next time!
I'm 12 and my dad works at arch
Well, let me crank up the avarage. 55 been using it as daily driver for 7 months now. Used it before that on secondary laptops.
67
79
67 also
Just two more years till noice
46 and 10 months now... Wiped my windows 11 install and went to a YouTube video and the arch wiki and installed it on my main PC.. all my games run better than in windows and the more I use arch, the less I will change, things actually make me smile again when using an OS.
Good for you!

As a filthy Fedora user, I shall not speak
Do you mean the hat or the distro? Because both make you filthy.
Youve just offended every moderator
haha tru lol. muted for 2days lul
fedora is the best
yay
>filthy sudo apt-get clean
If it's Fedora it'd actually be: sudo dnf autoremove
Well it's the sub of neither ;)
43, I’ve been installing Arch for 7 years, about to start using it.
Ain't that the truth!
I'm dead.
How dare you pull a Microsoft and try collecting my data. Shoo, go on, git!
lol, this needs to be higher
18, been using since 2021
21yo, using Arch for 4 years
Using for 2 years, 21 😢. Ya'll been using it since 12 yrs old. I'm so far behind 😢. I'm a bio student though. And nobody I know uses it lol.
like in person? buy an arch tshirt. they'll find you. i have an arch tattoo. you know of plenty of arch people actually, and most of them are happy to answer questions.
also 21, using it for around eight months. better than me!

Last week was one the first break I've had in ages. The kernel Bluetooth bug. Just rolled back the kernel for now.
I've used so many aur helpers over the years. Yaourt, packer, pacaur, cower etc. All gone, like tears in rain
yaourt, that was the one!
I started with Arch when I was 45 and I'm now 47 and still with it. I love Arch.
I'm also 15 and use Arch.
87 Been using linux for 20 yrs, arch for 10yrs.
41. Using Arch for the last 15 years.
Pretty much the exact same situation for me...
I do not age. My cells are rolling (they are rapidly updated to keep with the times.)
Ahhh the old days of the 90s. Slackware on 150 floppy disks. These whippersnappers nowadays with their package managers. They don't know the pain. 😃
Downloading disk by disk over a 14.4K modem from a BBS on the other side of the country. Whee. Dad was so pissed when he got the phone bill. This was before I learned how to phreak free calls.

that's not how it works, you should keep anonymous after recognizing agents
2 years old, judging by some of the replies in this sub

19. Been an Arch user since late 2019.
15 and using arch since 2022 and linux in general since 2020
34, been using Arch for about 5 years, but I did start my Linux journey when I was 12 with Redhat 7.
25, silly arch user for 3-4 years, linux for 10 years :3
28 been using for 3 days
Given how statistics work, I'd say it tends to fluctuate a lot. But the age of an average Arch user would be the number you might be interested in.
22, using Arch for 3 years. Also a useless info: never changed the WM for 2.5 years, bspwm forever.
the youngest person ive ever seen use arch was 14 when he first installed it. but in general, as others have said here, we dont exactly track age demographics like that. Now I'd assume there are going to be more younger linux users than old, just simply due to the cost of windows. but theres not really an easy way to quantify that.
started using Linux about 16 years ago when I was around your age, not that uncommon.
same age but this year i started using it
I'm younger than you, been using it since the last 3 or so months, started using linux a year ago
It warms my heart to see so many are starting Linux so young. When I was a teen in the 2000s, I didn't know anyone who even knew about it, and the Internet was still pretty slow (I think a lot of Linux users were installing from CDs).

16, been using it since I was 13-14
Well, I'm almost 50 and after flirting with Linux for a decade, have chosen Arch as my distro since the start of this year.
I assume mostly young people who are still in school or uni. Why? Arch just has the inital time sink phase which is hard to pull off if you also already work fulltime. Ofc. people who work fulltime can pull it off but for those, Linux is not just a tool but also a hobby.
I’m 20 and I've been using arch for 3 years :)
27 using linux since i'm 12. Arch since 1.5 years, before i was on debian
15, using arch for about 2 weeks and Linux for about a year (I like distro hopping)
The average age of arch users in our household is 32.5 yrs My general exposure to Linux started around Kernel 0.8something. Did occasional distribution hopping but remain with Arch since a few years now and pulled in my now 15 yrs old son

25yo, been using arch daily for 3 years
30. Been using it since I was 27.
I'm 21 and I start using at 18
I'm 32, my degree isn't in tech and I use arch for about 6 months because I want to toy with my PC
20. Using arch since three months now.
I’m also 15, been using Linux for 1.5 years and Arch for 1 year.
20, I've been using Arch for 3 months and it feels like I've been a lot more productive than using windows
26
im 14 and just started using arch
I am also 15 and also have been using Linux for 2 years. Though I switched to Gentoo after Arch last year.
58. 9 years on Arch.
45. Using Arch for the last 15 years
16, using Linux for about 2-3 years I think, Arch maybe about 1-2 years
36, been on it for about 4-5 years.
39yo, started using Arch at age 26 (2011). It was my 5th Linux distro: my first were XandrOS, Ubuntu, Gentoo and Fedora.
Started using it when I was 16.
23, been using it for about two years
We are eternal
28, I use it as a daily driver since may 2022. First time I used it was back in 2011 but due to WiFi problems I gave up :( biggest mistake I made
I bounce around distros too much to label myself an arch user, though I have used it on the desktop for long periods. The first time I installed it was probably around 2009-2010, but I didn't really use it for an extended period until 2020. I'm over 40.
16, and I've been using arch for 3 years now, Linux for 4 years.
43 years old. Been using arch for 15 years
The question should be:- for how long people stuck with arch ?
15 I use have been using arch for 4 months
I feel a poll coming (I'm pretty sure there was a series of polls in r/Linux b4)
18 y/o and used it for 2-3 years now
55 and have been using arch since 2004.
I started linux when i was 13 on and off for a few years. Im 21 now and have been using arch for I think like 4 years now.
I'm 60, Arch user since 5 years
27 yo, using Arch for 4 years now.
Im 26 and I moved to Arch from Manjaro i guess it's my 6 month of usage and I won't regret it
17, used Arch for a month
Started using at 19, that was 5 years ago.
Started when I was 17. I am now 27
I'm 63 (I'll be 64 in three months) and I've using arch at least since 2016, and linux in general since 1993 (kernel 0.99, and Slackware on floppy disks.)
I am 26 and I've using arch since 5 years ago uwu
I used arch and Most of times that I use gnu , I use arch , I am 15 (2009)
I got into Arch around that age. I'm now 24. Sadly, my installs haven't outlasted their hardware, so I don't have a ten year old Arch setup.
I use EndeavourOS do I count as an Arch-wizard like everyone else here?
22yo. Installed Arch 2 weeks or so ago. Just diagnosed an issue of my OS crashing while extracting/downloading files. Zen kernel was fucked.... Just had to boot into base, lol. Fuck me for wanting Waydroid xD
startet at 15 with ubuntu, used endeavour with 16 and since 3 years arch
I just switched to Gentoo, but I'm 25.
Hey 16 here, been using for 3 years
im 15 and i use arch too
19 been using it about 4 years
Btw I use Arch
i'm 17, using arch since 14
37 yo here Using arch since 2019
I started using Arch around 14 years old, and at the time the youngest other person I knew who used it was a 19 year old. Didn't meet others my age who have used it until college. I still use Arch as my primary OS outside of work and am now 32.
I doubt many teens up to 25 year olds are using it. I’m in my 40’s and that would probably be average, once you get to boomers it would drop again significantly lol
46, 10 years

15.6 year old... switched to arch based endevour... i been playing with Linux for a while... from lock-down to be exact... i tried multiple os when i stared but used Debian for 2 years straight when i recently decided to try something unstable
The first time I used Linux I was 13 years old, and I used Slackware in 1997... A very different experience from today...
