For largely this reason, I've just switched to Manjaro after over two decades (ouch!) of using Debian and Ubuntu. I'm very happy with it!
Package installs are unbelievably fast. But mostly, the AUR repository of user contributed packaging scripts is awesome! Although I'm a bit worried about installing packages from random internet people, they are generally short and very easy to check for unwanted *ware. Haven't been disappointed yet!
- wayneftw 7y agoCame here to say this. I've been on Manjaro at work and at home for 2 years now. It's the longest running Linux desktop distro I've ever maintained and it's precisely due to the excellent AUR repo system. I've had to install very few things from source, mostly small, opinionated system tweak utilities. But even installing from source is easier than hunting down a PPA and a key and trying to keep apt from getting corrupted somehow.
