Arch Linux is a versatile, and simple distribution designed to fit the needs of the competent Linux® user.

Versatile, sure.

But Arch is anything but simple. The proof is the number of Arch spinoffs that were made to make it easier to install and use.

And any distro can be for competent Linux users. I mean, Linus Torvalds uses Fedora. I don't think theres a more competent user than him.

There's conceptual simplicity and there's UX. Arch is mostly the former.
