There’s a “Yo Dawg” meme here somewhere.

My main reason is, it’s not a dependengy hell. If I want to build software, I don’t have to go through 5 iterations of being told something is missing, figuring out what that is (most annoying part), installing that and retrying. On Arch-based distros, it’s 2 or less, if it even happens.
Also, AUR.
Other points include
- Small install (I use archinstall though, because more convenient.)
- rolling release.
- Arch wiki
My installs never broke either, so it doesn’t feel unstable to me.
I like it more than ther distros because
- Debian is a dependency hell, otherwise fine. Older packages. I still use raspian though.
- Fedora has too much defaults that differ from my preferences. I don’t want btrfs, I don’t want a seperate home partition, dnf is the only package manager that selects No by default. dnf is also the slowest package manager I’ve seen. Always needs several seconds between steps for seemingly no reason at all. Feels like you can watch it thinking “Okay, so I’ve downloaded all these packages, so they are on the disk. That means - let’s slow down here and get this right - that means, I should install what I downloaded, right. Okay that makes sense, so let’s do that. Here we go installing after downloading”. I also got into dependency hell when trying something once, which having to use dnf makes it even worse. - I guess you can tell I don’t like Fedora.
- Love the concept of NixOS,
don’t like the lack of documentation



Hmm, can I RegEx this?
