ive finally settled on arch.

What are you, some kind of Linux prodigy?

[–] naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago

arch is basic. It's just minimalise by default.

It has an amazing wiki, extremely active and helpful user forums, and an installer (i think now) or at least a massively helpfully customised shell for initial setup.

you can install arch and make it look like mint or whatever easily, then the only difference is pacman and the amazing AUR

It's not like he's compiling Linux from scratch on day one. Arch is pretty well supported and has a package manager.

Lol i hear this alot about arch users and as a newbie i dont get it. It has been the easiest for me to understand, maybe its the documentation idk i started with endavourOS as well which is a great beginner OS for arch IMO
