      Same, and although it’s treated me well I wouldn’t recommend it to everyone. If you’re interested in learning more about how the parts of an OS work together it’s great and you end up with a system customized to your needs and preferences but it’s also a decent number of hours of learning and work to get something comparable to what other Linux distros are out of the box.

      I like to spread out my distros so that I always come out on top. Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, and centos. Some in real systems while others within VMs.

        Maybe I should do this but I get frustrated since I feel like a beginner again in other distros. Have to web search for even basic things and also I don’t have that feeling that I know what’s going to happen when I change something, as I do in arch.

        But sure, it’s really good to know all the major linux distros, if you can remember all the differences in your head and not get confused.

          I run EndeavourOS. It’s like arch for noobs haha.
          I didn’t really have to learn anything to use it, it just kind of works.
          I do feel it’s somewhat pointless though since I didn’t have to learn anything, and I wouldn’t be able to fix it if it broke.

            Its ok you know. :) I use arch for work and if I would manage to break it all the time, i would switch to something that gives me stability. We need to be productive on our computers and specially when they are used for work :)

      Same. Was even using it on some servers years ago. I don’t anymore, but on CentOS on servers, then Alma Linux after the centos8 debacle, but now after recent red hat debacle it seems I’ll be replacing server OSs with debian. Arch all the way tho on workstations and laptops.
