    This means, that there isn’t that much testing before the release. This can cause lots of problems for the end user.

    Lol you’re buying into the FUD. ubuntu doesn’t test every possible combination of packages, nor do they test how updates actually impact the user. Generally updates are always good for users. They fix bugs. 99% of the time someone comes to a linux forum asking about an issue, the answer is “this was fixed in the latest kernel, try updating”. But because they’re using distros that use ancient, 3 year old kernels, they can’t.

    Unless you have a staging computer where you stage your updates, you’re living in an illusion about “stability”, and using ancient tools with ancient bugs for no reason





  • The arch wiki is the gold standard for Linux, not just arch. But it definitely talks specifically about arch.

    So, there are built in install scripts now. There’s no GUI installer, but it’s 1 command to get a full arch setup installed with a desktop environment. Arch is a 100% reasonable choice for a new user.
