Ubuntu vs. Arch thingie stuff...

The ancient legend says the second one is built for sysadmins who bore all day and need to find some challenge while everything is working cool.

Also, ironically, arch Linux is really easy to dump onto a raspberry pi...

@nmunro heh... heheh....

I use both of them, I don't see things like this.
I run Ubuntu at work.
I run Arch on my personal laptop.
Arch Linux is about learning and understanding how things are put together.

@qurpor yes. It's not that hard. The picture is exaggerated.

For me as Windows user the whole Linux community sounds like the right side. 😝

@Yeah69 Yes, I felt like being on that right side when I tried Linux on the desktop just after Vista's release.

However, things feel different when you use it as a dev tool on headless machines. It's probably due to different mindsets.

On a server (or whatever other headless application), it's kind of ok to spend time googling and testing because you're working on a project. On a desktop however, having to google for scripts, terminal commands and config settings just gets in the way of getting real work done.

Arch is not that hard. If you have a way to read the installation guide while you do it, setting Arch up is fast.

First time I installed Arch it took 15 minutes.

There is a distro "Antergos", which does all the installing for you, but gives you the benefits of arch. I can only recommend it (Running on my personal laptop for a year now)!

@Ruby i tried it. After install... it was giving errors. Wish it worked. I am better with mint now.

@Ruby you also have Manjaro.
