I don't know about others but for me one of the above is clearly superior and really the biggest reason for it being my OS of choice.
- bendmorris 14y agoAgreed. I had heard so many stories of Arch being only for experts, difficult to figure out, having to do everything yourself, etc. Then I discovered the Arch wiki and tried it out for myself. The documentation is incredible. Even my specific brand of laptop has its own page with a few common hardware issues and steps to resolve them. Ubuntu's supposed to "just work," but when it doesn't, you're screwed. Arch "just works" because a very knowledgeable community has probably been through what you're going through and took the time to write down what worked.
- celerity 14y agoEh, it is so easy to forget to set something up on Arch and scratch your head all the time to figure out what it was. Things that start working on Ubuntu fail rarely.
- celerity 14y agoArch Wiki is the best! I use it to set up stuff on my Ubuntu computer, sometimes. The thing is, Ubuntu already does most of the stuff from the Arch Wiki automatically.
