Seems like they did a great        NB> job with it.              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 ...)              CU, Ricsi              ... Such companies give a bad name to the penis enhancement business.       --- GoldED+/LNX        * Origin: Gonna take, a sentamental journey.
