Apparently, Arch Linux isn't scary anymore. It's Slackware, Gentoo & NixOS

I've never installed Nix? 🤔

Even after 10 years of using Linux, these 3 distros still scare me (and they’re not Arch)

Arch Linux isn’t even close to the hardest distro out there—here’s what really is.

For your experience it shouldnt be too difficult to install, the only issues are if the packages you want are actively maintained & the ecosystem hasnt fallen apart.

@dekkzz78 I'm too old to start all that faffing around. I sold out years ago and installed Canonical-nee-Ubuntu.

I ran it against debian, but some packages were only half heartedly maintained, once you learned how to declare packages it was easy enough. But modern hw helps, a 2008 Thinkpad probably wasn't a good idea.
