yeah, you did get my attention. I use Ubuntu and never used Arch - (I shall use arch in the future). Installing Ubuntu is not difficult and installing programs on Ubuntu not also difficult. I can't imagine going back to Ubuntu. Try Ubuntu again.
Ubuntu needs too many repos for certain programs.
You should try Arch. Ubuntu isn't hard, my post was to be sarcastic, but it's true I can't imagine going going back to it. Arch is superior in every way
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.
Totally agree, both installing Ubuntu itself, and installing programs, is trivially easy.
If you know how to type apt-get install in a terminal then you know how to install programs under Ubuntu. And the community is way bigger, which means that if you run into problems it's easier to get help.
Ubuntu FTW ... :-)

Superior in every way, in which ways then? Be more specific, or you're not convincing me.
Just the repos alone is already better
Arch is a rolling release, Ubuntu is a point release.
Did you ever even use Arch? Or installing it turned you away? Because if you did used Arch, you wouldn't be offended(from the sound of your comments)
In Arch, if you run into problems, you pretty much know what's wrong. Because you've built Arch from scratch.
There's plenty of help enough for the average user. If you are constantly seeking for help, then stick with Ubuntu.

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
I used to use the arch UI/theme on my Ubuntu.
On a scale of 1 to 5, would you recommend arch to a friend?
Definitely. Awesome OS
Agreed...
Its not that,Arch rocks man😇 definitely try it
Are you using vanilla arch or arch-based distro?
