PS. This is not a critique to Debian-based distros. And i’m not suggesting you to skip Ubintu for Arch either. Arch is a bit advanced and not too easy to new users, so that won’t do for some people…

… just install Linux Mint instead.

    As an Arch user I hate these memes. Guys, the only difference between distros is effectively the versions of packages you’re getting, and what the defaults packages and configs are. In Ubuntu you are completely free to have a very minimal i3 setup (I did for several years!) while in Arch you can use some bloated Gnome UI. This “Arch is fast and Ubuntu is slow” really isn’t true if you compare Arch-Gnome vs Ubuntu-Gnome, or Arch-i3 vs Ubuntu-i3.

      really isn’t true if you conpare Arch-Gnome vs Ubuntu-Gnome,

      So what I’m hearing is “Fuck Gnome”?

          IDK if it’s bloated or not, I’m just capitalising on the opportunity to shit on Gnome because I dislike its design choices.

          I mean no ill will to the devs or the users of gnome. It’s a bit of banter
