   Hi Nicholas!

   Never used arch before, but heard good things.   
   Main reason was that my HW is a focus for Manjaro.   
   https://www.pine64.org/pinebook-pro/   
   The HW has some quirks and Manjaro have dedicated support for it. (Pinebooks   
   are now delivered with it.)   
   The Previous Debian build was from one guy.   
   He did a great job, but it was a bit too much for one person.   
      
   Anyhow ... I am currently quit happy with it.   
   But I am still struggling a bit with apt update versus pacman -Syu   
   I find it highly unintuitive.   
      
   I need to take a closer look at desktop distros.   
   I start to dislike Ubuntu more and more ...   
   But I am too lazy to look for a better alternative.   
   Maybe I switch to Kali on the Desktop ...   
   Do you also use Arch on the Desktop?   
   How does it compare to Ubuntu on the desktop?   
      
   On servers I use Debian, and I am very happy with it.   
   (I do not mind the older releases it ships with ...)
