6. So you can proudly say "I use Arch, BTW".

[toploz_jr]

POV: you are watching a video to kill the guilt of spending 10 hours installing a distro that you only choose because the logo was cool.

[Zer]

Number 1: so you can stare at the Arch logo with screenfetch

[AaronTechnic]

"No services running in the background you don't know about."

Me with my Arch Installation with KDE: *uhh....*

[GabrielTobing]

I'll be honest, the name and cool logo of Arch got me into it XD

[Klassenfeind]

reason 6: so you can tell everyone about it

I am using Debian but 30 - 40 % of my problems have solved on Arch wiki / forum LoL

I'm so thankful for Ubuntu... It was my introduction to Linux... I experimented with alternative window managers... I broke installs and reinstalled... Then I took the plunge into arch... Yes there was hair pulling and frustration... But I soon realized that all the instructions and answers are right there... And the software... Wow... The arch Linux community is the best... Archer for life here...

I switched to Arch about a month ago.
It stopped my distrohopping.

I do love Arch and run it on most of my machines. It was the first distro that felt like home ( Solus is second in my opinion, the repos have been improving constantly..) but nothing beats the vanilla Arch experience "I built this, this is mine" kind of feel.

I installed Arch staying awake one whole night, I bricked the laptop the next morning.

Antergos is an ancient Galician word meaning 'I don't know how to install Arch.'

[douglas]

I've done exactly what you've described, basically just went through it 3 or 4 times in a VM and then moved over to my X230 and it was no problem. Good advice!

[Milena-ixmq]

I love it how you've put in an effort and made a whole presentation 😊

You can script the installation process to your computer - so that you have a script to rebuild if needed.

I watched ur video about 2 weeks ago .. now I'm on Arch Linux. It's super true ... this is the only linux I need/want ... rolling release is just awesome. I can just build it the way I want. The tedious installation process is really worth it; but once we get used to it .. it's easy. The wiki is just awesome. Thanks Derek for making me a convert. Proud to be an Arch user :)

I came back to Linux about a month ago, installed Arch without the zen installer for the first time, it was actually easier than I thought it would be. I take a simple approach before updating, read the bugreports (if there are any), check the homepage if I need to do something on a certain pacakge after updating, and I read the install outputs to see if manual intervention is required and so far, flawless expierence

I use Arch btw.

If you have too much time on your hands run Arch Linux.

If you don't want to actually use your computer run Arch Linux.

If you want your computer to break after most updates and then stay up all night fixing your computer run Arch Linux.
Great video by the way.
