    For those new to linux, therefore it's not as easy to configure like ubuntu, archlinux is one of these distros that once you step in you never look back.

    I will not lie, configuration doesn't look simple for those familiar to point and click, but after you understand how it works you will find a very simplistic OS.

    Almost everything is configurable just editing some files, that's a simple mechanism, not complex layers of tools and interfaces.

    Their documentation is extensive and easy to understand, and will guide you in every step of installation and configuration.

    But the best part about Arch is that once you learn how it works, you will find yourself in absolute control.

    It's like build your own house, you can install only what you want, and customize exactly as you like.

    As example, some linux distros install support for wireless and battery, even if you have a desktop.

    That's one thing that make arch simple to maintain, no useless crap installed, no things that you don't know why are there.

    For those that think Arch is the most complicated distro, try Sorcerer Linux, Lunar Linux, Crux Linux, Gentoo.

    After that you will find Arch easy as pie.

    Arch is a "rolling release" you always have the latest version (love it).

    You can have a "always up to date bleeding edge" distro with debian too, just upgrade it to debian Sid.

    Much like Arch, Debian Sid is a "rolling release".

    That's one of the reasons that I changed from Arch to Debian Sid.

    Debian have a lot more packages available than Arch, even with AUR, and the advantage that you don't need to compile anything.

    On the other hand, Debian documentation fall miles behind the awesome Arch documentation.

    If your intention is to learn linux and have some fun, there is no mistake with Arch.

    It's amazing how faster arch can run with a minimalist window manager like openbox, compared to other distros.

    There is not much i need in linux, if i can use chrome and thunderbird (or any other mailing app) i would be happy. I might try some linux native games on it, mint 17 worked with games BUT has alot of "random freezing" issues. I also need a office app and a bittorrent app and that's pretty much it haha.

    Oh and the most important thing i need is "cinnamon". Totally love that desktop for linux

    As for debian, i like that distro too but the software manager is just looking weird. It does not correctly name the application, it just give some weird names
