He also forgot to mention the specific topic which prompted mailing

list moderation - systemd arguments =). Arch is fine for audio (my

usage, admittedly amateur), but only for a certain type of user (those

who are prepared to invest time in understanding their system and

setting things up manually). It is not OOTB-suitable for most, and

hence won't appeal to the techie-musician who's much more musician

than techie (then again, what Linux distro does, currently?)
