Arch Linux is for professionals. You should probably stick with Ubuntu since you obviously know fuck all.

Tried Arch on my laptop last week, and it had a lot of issues during the install and then broke again on the first update.

So went to meme OS 2, Solus. Had it up and going in 20min and it just werks. Nice and fast.

Arch would be nice if I had more time, or a secondary computer. But for the time being Solus does everything I want it to easier and faster than the other distros I've tried.
>>
>>60942029
Works fine in Xubuntu.
>>
>>60948712
post a screenshot. i'll be waiting.
>>
>>60941568
You could use Solus OS if you want a fast and "just werks" distro.

How is Debian shitty though?
>>
>>60942890
What is this tho?
>>
>>60941885
Depends. I'd need to see your X11 logs.
>>
>>60941867
>Arch Linux is for professionals
rolling release is unstable as fuck and not recommended if you have to get shit done/ can't afford any downtime
t. ubuntu at work, arch at home
>>
>>60941568
gentoo
>>
>>60942029
is your font rendering really this shit or is it the image quality?
>>
>>60948711
whilst not always seeded in truth, stereotypes exist for a reason

everytime i installed arch it would last a few weeks until an update fucked everything up

>>60941568
just go with ubuntu you fucking faggot
>>
>>60941568
Mint is the most reliable and easy to use from my experience
>>
>>60941885
>I can't launch X11 if I install proprietary drivers.
Same as with Fedora's akmod. Likely, the distro updated the kernel but Nvideo only supports 4.10.12 or whatever.

If you install prop drivers onl Arch, make sure not to upgrade your kernel without manual oversight.

>I find it easy and only takes me an hour.
Do you set up LVM? It takes legit 5 minutes to format, strap, grub, install all my packages in one go, enable systemd units and I'm done.

Used to be hard but after 5 years of Linux, it's less steps than removing the bloat from other systems.

Any distro netinst doesn't bloated

NetBSD

Gentoo unironically, everything just werks unless you use ANUS

Gentoo, seriously.

>>60957156
guess you haven't tried debian with systemd yet
>>
>>60941568
Why not Ubuntu? Because a bunch of neckbeards on a mongolian puppetry board will call you a noob? Ubuntu is objectively the best distro.
