    Arch is boring. It just works, has all the latest software, runs all the games, has the latest kernel…

    My latest install is from 2019 I think…its exactly as fast as when I installed it, despite new versions of massive desktop environments like plasma and cosmic in this time, and hundred of new kernels and drivers.

    Where is the excitement… Arch is like a rock in the sea. It doesnt change, it just is perfect the way it is.

    :)

      Arch is one of the most vanilla of Linuxes. Everyone wanted to run an opinionated distro. But what we needed was the opinions of developers and fewer opinions from people who think creating a distro is a sensible way to distribute art.

      Arch - every package is just the software the original developer shipped, kept up to date.

      “I have art work I want to share. I know. I’ll make myself responsible for the reliability of a thousand people’s operating systems. I hope my cooky ideas never come into conflict with that.” <- Not who you want indirectly changing files on your system when you use the package manager.
