Guess which baby has become a Linux user
Right now I'm using Linux Mint on my desktop PC, but I recently pulled out an old laptop that I had in storage and put my computer knowledge skills to the test by manually installing Arch Linux on it.. and to my surprise I was able to install it and I feel pretty comfortable with it!! Admittedly, I'm a bit hesitant to switch to any Arch-based distro as my main driver because the stereotype is that they break constantly, but I'm quite close to just making the switch because I'm starting to prefer Arch over Mint.
Really, I only went with Mint as my introduction to Linux because I wasn't sure what to expect with it, but now that I know a lot more about how these OSes work, I feel much more confident with operating something like Arch!
As a bonus, here's a picture of my manual install of Linux with some friends.
