I only wish that you'd posted each sentence as separate comments so that I can upvote each one individually.

Back when I had freedom of choice for my OS at my place of employment, I wanted to learn about Linux so I chose it. Then I wanted to learn more about Linux so I moved from Ubuntu to Arch. At first, the documentation is a lifesaver. However, a bit of time invested in reading it carefully will also really educate someone in so many aspects of an OS. Not only that, but so many of the things that someone would really want to use are so well documented. I learned more about PostgreSQL administration and X from the Arch Wiki than the documentation from the actual projects themselves.

Thanks to Arch Linux, my first instinct when using a new command-line tool is to add the `--help` flag, then run `man <command>`. It helped me stop googling crap all the time.
