Not sure why this downvoted? This is precisely the reason I went with Arch too: it is nothing more than a package system, systemd and a huge wiki that lets you grok how everything works. For everybody else there's a huge amount of distros that does the job fine (better?) without having the hassle of having to know how things are configured and what not...
- tdkl 11y agoI see those "distros" for certain kind of people. They installed Arch manually once or twice, liked the result and got comfortable with it. Now they want to get the install part out of their way and just get to the usable system. This "you're using it wrong" in Linux environment baffles me. > without having the hassle of having to know how things are configured and what not Really ? User doesn't need to know how to set and fix things on Ubuntu/Fedora/Debian ? Now that's a bold statement.
- sevensor 11y agoIndeed. Since I switched to Arch, I've had to spend far less time fixing stuff than when I used Fedora, which reliably broke every six months whenever I tried to upgrade.
- freekh 11y agoI suppose that says more about Fedora than Arch :) (context: happy with Arch - haven't tried Fedora)
