Alessandro17 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Jesse Smith of DistroWatch has published a review of Arch Linux: http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20151221#arch He thinks basically like me: Arch Linux presents an investment in time, reading and maintenance that I do not find practical for my day-to-day needs. But I do think we could all agree running Arch Linux is an educational experience. Running Arch is something I think will appeal to people who like to build their operating systems rather than simply run them. And thus it is not for me and I suspect many other people will feel the same. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linuxfan66 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Debian is the best out there in the heap The RPM style distributions for business(centos/rhel, opensuse,etc) use are pretty good based on my recent testing. I have no idea how often they are updated but you see alot of polish on them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Xtreme Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I'm trying arch linux right now since I couldn't get my OS X partition operationally again, and my windows partition has a bad video driver that will not completely uninstall. P.S. I tried openSUSE, and linux mint, but suse wouldn't accept my password after installation, and I wanted try something harder and adventurous then mint.
