Manjaro is good.

Please, how does one install arch? The last time I tried I was unsuccessful
at it.

Or, Artix could be used in order to get the benefits of Arch without systemd.

two main reasons.
one is ideological. the way systemd was put into the community rubbed a
lot of people the wrong way. i won't get into the details, you can google
for that whole war. no sense bringing it up again.
two is simplicity. systemd is now over a million lines of code. to put
that in
So do you recommend system d for a desktop? It assms you don't and then you
do.

Oh sorry, I must have buried the lead. I use systemd linux systems for my
desktopy desktops (ubuntu and fedora mostly). Aka, the ones i check email,
browse the web, play games on. For my developery desktops I do not use
systemd, but that is born of pure frustration and malding.

thank yout for the advice.

arch has probably the best community (and wiki) in the business. they also

the main reason most people will speak of arch is that it is a rolling (or
streaming) release. so with fedora or ubuntu, you get new versions every 6

oh, they have a good test system. what i mean is breaking versions.
upgrading from one version of software to another. say a kernel that
decides a particular tuning variable is no longer used in favor of
something else. and all the sudden your database performance chunks

this has weird knockon effects too. since arch is rolling release, and
highly customizable, they don't tend to switch up major pieces often. say
with fedora they decided to go to ext3 to ext4 to xfs, then btrfs
filesystems. now, if you run the upgrade scripts on time you can go from
fedora 35 to
I'll second arch, I've been using it for a good 4-5 years now, and only
thing I run on personal hardware anymore.
That said, it can be cranky, even with rolling updates. I've had them
randomly blow up at least one system that I couldn't figure out how to fix,
and upgrades can be a pain with AUR r
thanks for telling me about this mb. I'm not advanced enough in my
knowledge of Linux to use arch. I'll stick with mint but what about
manjaro? Manjaro users: Do you have the same issue with it; is it good for
a casual Linux user??

I never used systemd for the same reason I kicked every KDE executable and

Manjaro is supposed to have repositories with slightly older and more stable
software, but in my experience it's less stable and well-documented. Manjaro
also comes a bit more pre-configured but I don't really see the point in that
now that arch has a guided installer. At this point in time, I d
