Recommending Arch to people who just want a working machine is silly, and stuff like Gentoo is kind of dumb shit.

This is precisely what I mean. But there are too many people in the community who do exactly this. And then when beginners post a tirade about how shitty the linux experience was because they were recommended a geek distro, the comments are often filled with the equivalent of "skill issue".
