Are there any downsides to using Xubuntu over Arch?

>>59024276
ubuntu packages are old as fuck

Stigma of not being a cool hacker

>>59024276
Not much. Arch's packages are newer

>>59024276
you don't know how Linux works
fucking normie plebeian

>>59024276
You aren't bleeding edge.

>>59024304

Not too old, I mean I have everything I had on Arch on my noobuntu.

>>59024346

That's why I gave up using Arch. Not enough time to learn it.

>>59024353

True, I only updated every two weeks or so.

no aur

>>59024558
I have apt. Why should I give a fuck about AUR?

>>59024598
AUR has THE largest repository of all Linux distros


it even has league of legends

>>59024558
The AUR basically consists broken packages and script kiddie garbage, who cares.

>>59024618
not sure if srs

>>59024276
Yeah, Xubuntu installs Xfce by default meaning you have to get rid of it before installing GNOME.

you can't use arch, no one can
shit just don't work
arch is a meme

>>59024276
if you're more concerned with stability and efficiency than bleeding edge packages, and don't mind using PPAs and/or some debian repos for packages that you want to be more up-to-date, then no, there are no downsides.

>using gnome in the year of our lord two thousand and seventeen

>>59024276
Just about none. The performance difference is trivial.

>>59024276
Slightly older packages, forced to roll with whatever defaults to begin with, almost nothing.

I don't know, are you scared of a random neckbeard on the internet claiming they're superior because they use a distro with no installer?

>>59024315
Explain what you mean by newer because packages can only be a new as the developer releases them. There is no newer version of GIMP or Abiword or Chromium for Arch.

>>59024276

apt-get because Yaourt and Pacman are both superbly better than that apt-get pile of dog-shit.

>>59024276
You don't get to lord it over other linux users. Also you will have more free time since you won't be constantly repairing your set up.

>>59025126
I wouldn't have used it in Anno Domini MMXIV, but it has gotten better with time and generally the next release is better than the previous.

saves me from building from source manually, so i like it.

>has league of legends
What

You don't get the adrenaline rush of knowing that every time you update something might break horribly..

>>59024276
Not really, unless you're one of these autismos that think the existence of version 1.4.34 of Tux Racer means that version 1.4.33 is """ancient""" and """vulnerable"""
