What stops you from saying that "Arch is a great way to know Arch" then? It's not as if it doesn't have its own package manager and all, like any other distro...

It's not the having a package manager that makes it specific, it's that it's ports-like. It's also a great feature that I'm a huge fan of.

It doesn't do nearly as much patching as other distros (save for Slackware or CRUX) to packages making reporting bugs upstream much more straightforward.

This explains it better than I do: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/The_Arch_Way
