Archlinux.. Everytime I re-install it and see "make command not found" is a priceless moment for me. You really build your own OS over time.. installing only what you need. Everything is kept simple (simple as in there's not 10 levels of abstraction to change a keybinding or whatever). Maybe the most important thing about arch is the package manager (pacman); it's simply great.
- phzbOx 15y agoOh, something great about Arch also is the documentation. It's awesome; the best I've seen so far.
- andyking 15y agoAs long as you've read up on the subject beforehand, their forums are also really helpful. A few times, I've asked a question on the Ubuntu forums and been met with dead air, but while the people on the Arch site can be a little short with people who ask questions before searching and reading, if you obviously have, they're more than helpful.
- phzbOx 15y agoAsking without searching first is disrespectful against users of that forum who spend time to answer questions. It's a little bit like saying "Instead of wasting 30secs of my life to search and try on my own, I'll waste 30secs of yours." Personally, when someone asks something.. and I can paste their exact question and get a well done tutorial on the subject, I don't feel like answering. For a total beginner, obviously, that's different.
- alecbenzer 15y agoimo gentoo was even more like that for me. there's not even an installer (at least there wasn't when I was doing it). you're literally just running commands and moving files around
