pneves3328yTried it once. Back to Ubuntu too. I know about the "Ubuntu is unstable and sh*t" thing but for a web dev, it's almost like one hour to format, install and be ready to work!

afduarte5998yManjaro++ I'm a web dev as well, you get everything from arch but with an abstraction layer over first install/setup. I'm currently running the budgie Desktop Environment, but another great thing about manjaro is that because it's rolling release, you don't have to worry that your less know favourite flavour will only be out after the main distro release... I'm never going back to Ubuntu

nmunro31908yArch used to have a pretty simple installer but for some reason they ditched it. I never had the time to go through the whole install process again after that. Except on my raspberry pi, that's pretty simple to get going.

nmunro31908y@afduarte It wasn't anaconda or ubiinstaller or anything, but for arch it was simple, I think noone was maintaining it so they dropped it, I may be mistaken though.

afduarte5998y@nmunro okay, fair enough... I think the reason why not a lot of people use arch is how hard it is to set up... Manjaro is changing that though, I think

lotd79228ylast i tried arch it took me roughly 45 to get a system ready with an Xfce desktop and a couple of tools and editors..
took me about 2hrs for the same with gentoo .. :)
however i cant stop loving portage, eselect and layman so thats where my flag is put ;) -
I love arch. Install in ~2 hours. I have a list of all my must have programs in my top drawer.
When it's 10pm and you decide to install Arch Linux.
Suddenly, it's 6AM and you still don't have it working correctly...
