LonelyWendigo,

Exactly. I mean I installed it once upon a time on my server because it was well supported and most hardware I had just worked. I cut my teeth on Linux by using Ubuntu, so I’m familiar with where I’m going to have trouble and how to troubleshoot it if I do. I can tear down and setup a new Ubuntu server over a weekend if I wanted to and transfer all my stuff, but not if I had to switch distros. I could do it, but I’d rather not spend the extra time. Maybe I’m lazy, but I’m no noob. At this point for me, hopping distros is just a matter of the devil you know vs. the devil you don’t. I’ve got more important things to DO with my machine and life than spend it fucking with and constantly breaking/fixing my setup. So, from what I’ve heard about it, Arch is everything that is holding back Linux on the desktop and everything I don’t want in an OS unless I’m getting paid by the hour.
