    I’ve daily drivered arch for a couple months now. Only a few time have I not searched and found a wiki/forum with the precise error/comment and a solution/fix for the problem.

    It’s almost literally insane.

        I have run all kinds of distros. Loved them all, btw. But nothing comes even close to arch and its derivatives. I’ve been running emdeavourOS for almost 1.5 years now and it’s been fantastic. The AUR is godsend. I have never bothered with flatpaks, snaps or appimages. AUR has everything I need.

        I’m going from Ubuntu 16 or so (took a break since then). The flexibility/customization/wikis of arch make it better IMO

        If you’re moderately comfortable with the command line, Arch is amazing. I find it considerably easier to find software I want to install, and find answers to problems I have.

        I would say that if you’re not interested in learning when something goes wrong, so you’re not really interested in anything other than i don't care I just want it to work then it’s not the distro for you.

        The rolling release style is really great and Arch is rock solid, so if you are looking for something a little more user friendly, Endeavor is worth a try as it is Arch based but focused on an easier to use system.

        I installed Arch for the first time in March of last year for my primary gaming PC. Previously my gaming PCs were windows but I keep a separate file server and HTPC each running Ubuntu. I’m in the process of switching both of them over to Arch now because I just consider package management and updates so much easier.

          Truly don’t mean to be argumentative, but, I read all the time how an update will semi-brick it, requiring repair. ?
