Sometimes picking your distro is kinda like picking your difficulty level.
arch is easier if you have some linux skills though, because of the awesome wiki
Did you just say that <whatever> is easy if you’re already good at it?
no i meant arch becomes easier than beginner distros when you have the base knowledge
That’s why I switched to Arch. Every stack overflow article to fix little problems with sound or screen tearing or whatever was a 1 line fix for arch or 4 to 6 lines for Ubuntu.
There is a reason why people switch from Arch to Fedora.
Does that actually happen?
I work in a stem center as a computer science tutor and it has happened to myself as well as a tutee and a fellow tutor. We all moved because keeping up with a rolling release gets tiring when you have projects with deadlines. They call it the bleeding edge because it has a tendency to cut you.
I still love arch and there’s parts of it I miss. Fedora just has a tendency to break less often.
Maybe it’s just ubuntu being bad, but I’ve had way fewer issues on arch after switching to it. I had like 4 issues where my pc just wouldn’t boot in the 3 years I was running Ubuntu, and I’ve had I think 1 in 4 years on arch.
Granted I’ve gotten more comfortable with linux in that time and have gotten better at fixing problems.
That’s what happens when you pick a distro SPECIFICALLY TARGETED AT ENTHUSIASTS.
Ive never had my DE uninstall after an arch update. Genuinely had no idea that was a problem for anyone until i saw that meme
I wonder what the experience would be like if one used bleeding edge windows / windows nightly.
