    As a 10 year Arch user* I concur. Reports of danger are vastly exaggerated. Most software comes pre-compiled and tested. I never had any more (or less) problems than with Debian stable.

    Newcomers often underestimate the importance of its wiki, and some are perpetually unwilling to understand.

      I’ve ever run arch, yet.

      I’m used to scanning forums and wikis to find fixes, would arch be a “walk in the park” for me?

      Thinking of switching from an oclp build on my old MacBook to Linux, as performance is lackluster on the latest build and I don’t even use the continuity features on my Mac

      Edit: barely any context from what I’ve searched fixes for, nice crap comment.

      I’ve run Ubuntu quite a lot years ago and ran popos recently. I also did quite a lot of android custom roms on a huge number of devices (saying this, only horror stories I have are android fuckery and hardware issues, guess I’ll be fine)
