  • It’s not really trouble. I use it since 2012 with a few intermediate installs of Debian and Fedora, but I really don’t have many issues I can’t solve in a few minutes. Rolling release means I never have to do huge upgrades.

    Then again, I’m a studied CS expert with 20 years of Linux experience. Wouldn’t recommend Arch to people who don’t want to exactly know how their system works.







  • Basically irrelevant what you choose as first distro. Do backups early and often, hopefully automated, and make sure to document your experience a bit so you know what you like and dislike. Afterwards you can check if other distributions might do the things you like better and do the things you dislike less.

    The quirks are half the fun and part of your journey.
