I used Arch on a server once (still running) but found the experience on Debian was more to my taste, and somehow never liked pacman. Maybe it's time to take another look. I never tried it on the desktop.
- sergeykish 6y agoInteresting, I have opposite experience. Pacman looks so much simpler than aptitude, apt-get, apt-cache, dpkg. And makepkg - it just works. I have not managed to create packages on Ubuntu. No outdated packages, no ppa. No upgrade. Install is rough but it nails how simple the system is. Ubuntu is a good starting point. But there is so much more.
