I mean, I thought Arch Linux, oh sure, you know, you install it, follow a couple guides, bam, you're up and going.
What in the
It's not any of those other distros that I have tried that just kind of held your hand.
arch linux is far more crueler and if you want to get into the arch ecosystem in your new use manjaro do not try arch linux and i'm about to tell you guys why i just said that and why it's the truth All right, so breaking it down here, just in case you're new to this or you haven't really looked into it, Arch Linux is very modular in the fact that you choose your display manager, your display renderer, your display environment, I mean your desktop environment, you how you do your sound on your computer you're gonna choose that if you don't use it you're just not gonna have sound I mean this is what Arch Linux is you're installing in making all these choices So for better or worse, that's what's going on.
