[Solved] considering switching to arch

dante19992 · 2011-02-19 14:19:07

I am considering switching to arch as i have heard good things about this distro. however before i do I'd like to ask a few questions. firstly how does one install software on Arch. secondly what actually makes arch so great? and thirdly will WMs like KDE run faster on Arches bare-bones design?

The answer to your first question is in the Beginner's Guide.

The answer to your second question is also in the wiki: The Arch Way

well for tht one i wanted some actual user responses. for a question about "what makes this OS great" i never take the answer they themselves provide but ask actual users. get rid of some of the B.S

Then try this: The Official Unofficial 'Arch is Best' Thread

Try Arch for yourself and see if you like it. That is in my opinion the best to find answers to your questions.

Unless you know someone in person that uses Arch, and that person knows how prolific you are when it comes to Linux, and he recommends you to switch, I wouldn't switch. The biggest fanboys are the ones that were on Ubuntu a week ago. They may be really enthusiast, but they barely know how to handle their system, which makes them totally unfit to tell you whether you yourself should switch or not.

No flame intended towards Ubuntu, by the way.

Arch Linux
