Is Arch Linux the Best?
Contents

The installation process is long and probably too technical for a non-Linux savvy user, but with enough time on your hands and the ability to maximize productivity using wiki guides and the like, you should be good to go. Arch Linux is a great Linux distro – not in spite of its complexity, but because of it.

Is Arch Linux good for daily use?

In daily use it’s great, solid and highly reliable. Also it’s very easy to maintain. Arch users barely go beyond their default repos, since the AUR is huge. Might be a stretch of the term Linux distribution… but have you ever tried installing an operating system image on a smartphone?

Is Arch Linux difficult?

Arch Linux is not difficult to set up it just takes bit more time. Documentation on their wiki is amazing and investing bit more time to set it all up is really worth it. Everything works just how you want it (and made it). Rolling release model is much better than static release like Debian or Ubuntu.
