What makes Arch Linux special?
Arch is a rolling-release system. ... Arch Linux provides many thousands of binary packages within its official repositories, whereas Slackware official repositories are more modest. Arch offers the Arch Build System, an actual ports-like system and also the AUR, a very large collection of PKGBUILDs contributed by users.
Why do people like Arch Linux so much?
Arch Linux is a rolling release distribution. ... If a new version of software in the Arch repositories is released, Arch users get the new versions before other users most of the time. Everything is fresh and cutting edge in the rolling release model. You don't have to upgrade operating system from one version to another.
What's so good about Arch?
Since Arch allows you to choose your own components, you no longer have to deal with a bunch of software you don't want. ... To put simply, Arch Linux saves you post-installation time. Pacman, an awesome utility app, is the package manager Arch Linux uses by default.
What is the point of Arch Linux?
Arch linux gives you total control of your system. It is not made for the typical user. It was designed for the linux enthusiast who would like to know how everything works behind the scenes.
Is Arch really better than Ubuntu?
Arch is the clear winner. By providing a streamlined experience out of the box, Ubuntu sacrifices customization power. The Ubuntu developers work hard to make sure that everything included in a Ubuntu system is designed to work well with all the other components of the system.
Why is Arch Linux so fast?
It's fast because there is nothing included. The more things you add the slower it will get. Especially if you're on slow hardware. It could also have something to do with the fact that Arch is a "bleeding edge" distro (I really don't like that phrase).
Is Arch Linux worth it?
Absolutely not. Arch is not, and has never been about choice, it's about minimalism and simplicity. Arch is minimal, as in by default it doesn't have a lot of stuff, but it's not designed for choice, you can just uninstall stuff on a non minimal distro and get the same effect.
Does Arch Linux break?
Arch is great until it breaks, and it will break. If you want to deepen your Linux skills at debugging and repair, or just deepen your knowledge, there's no better distribution. But if you're just looking to get things done, Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora is a more stable option.
Is Arch Linux difficult?
If you want to be a skilled Linux operator, start out with something difficult. Arch isn't as hard as Gentoo or Linux from Scratch, but you'll get the reward of having a running system much faster than either of these two. Invest the time to learn Linux well.
Does arch break often?
The Arch philosophy makes it very clear that things will sometimes break. And in my experience that's exaggerated. So if you've done you're homework, this should hardly matter to you. You should make backups often.
Is Arch safe?
Arch is as secure as you set it up to be.
Is Arch Linux good for beginners?
Arch Linux is perfect for "Beginners"
Rolling upgrades, Pacman, AUR are really valuable reasons. After just one day using it, I've come to realize that Arch is good for advanced users, but also for beginners.
