From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Only people with time to lose use Arch.
i disagree, aur save big time
Once you have distrobox set up with an arch container, you have access to the aur no matter what distro ypu're running.
And guess what? It won't break like your over-complex Arch desktop because it doesn't need to be.
who said arch desktops were complex?
Normally I have the valet bring the PC around but I let him go early today 'cause it's his birthday.
Once you learn about Linux, you go faster than any other noob. And that is very useful for programming/hacking jobs, faster than all those noobs with 0 knowledge about what is what.
