Arch or Antergos (Arch with an easy installer)
It's not hard to install Arch but it takes slightly more effort than many of the mainstream distro's. The benefit is a powerful, fully customisable distro. It's documentation and package repo's are best of the best.
Antergos makes it quick (why I sometimes use it) to install and slightly easier for completely new users.
I have been on Arch based distro's for about 10 years and I wouldn't change. I have regularly reviewed other distro's but they all have things that "just work" in Arch but don't for them.
I generally use it on Thinkpad laptops and power settings and back lights (etc) all just work.
- curiousgal 9y agoI kcouldn't get Antergos to work properly on my XPS 15 9560 so I had to go with Manjaro with i3. The battery life is amazing. 8 hours with the GPU disabled vs 4 on Ubuntu 16.04.
