Discussion on: Ubuntu is harder than Arch

I'm not offended :-) but I was just curious about the reasons why it's better ... and "better" is often completely subjective, it depends a lot on your goals, priorities and preferences, what's great for one person may suck for someone else.

By the way, is it Arch based on Debian (like Ubuntu), with all of the packages that come with it?

If someone wants to convince me then I like to hear reasons and arguments rather than just "it's better". And of course there's inertia, most people stick with what they're familiar with unless something else is vastly superior. Most of the time these things are a toss-up and one choice isn't that much better of even different than the other one.

Arch is Arch, I know Ubuntu is Debian based.

Honestly, I didn't know anything about Arch. I was an Ubuntu user for a long time. I used all kinds of Ubuntu based distros.

I learned Arch WHILE I was installing it. Lol
