pyromaniac_donkeyArch is so fast
Is Arch really that minimalistic? It’s been a few years for me, granted, but I recall they had no package granularity at all. No options to install headers on their own, shit like ssh-client and ssh-server only available bundled together, etc.
Arch is customizable, like legos. It’s neither minimalistic, neither lightweight. It gives you almost unlimited amount if legos and you build something. Bad at building - you fucked. Good at building - congrats.
You don’t require to melt those bricks from plastic tho (gentoo) or rebuild an existing OS (Ubuntu).
Also when you buy Arch Lego© you also get a great instructions on how to do it (arch wiki) + recommendations on how to order additional less-frequently used legos (AUR).
That’s why I prefer Arch. 👌
