Arch Linux – "It is what you make it"
I switched from Ubuntu to Arch on my servers and linux desktops a while back.Here's are the key benefits from my perspective:- shallow mental model: I know where everything is, I know all the moving pieces- pacman: outstanding package manager.- aif: dieter has done a great job making a modular install framework.- AUR: compared to PPAs, AUR is simple and easy to contribute to (both commentary and packages)It really does take time if you want to understand Arch deeply. Not crazy amounts of time. Less than vim, I'd say ;) but enough that you shouldn't expect instant results. The knowledge gained is very rewarding and applicable to Linux systems in general.
