Using Ubuntu may give off hipster vibes to the average PC user, but within the Linux community its has the opposite effect.
hot take?
Edit: got nothing against Ubuntu, it's Linux after all and that's what matters 🌻
Edit2: people took this very seriously for being a shower thought..
Arch Linux user here to say... Ubuntu's fine, man. Love all the derivatives that can take advantage of the core Ubuntu system (e.g., Mint, which I've installed for family members).
I love Arch. I use it all the time. I will not inflict it on any family members.
Eh, I'm at the stage where I'm done with windows and have no desire for osx, but I also don't have an entire evening or weekend to be locked into my computer like I used to. At a certain point, I need my computer to just work most of the time so I can finish my actual work and then spend time with my family.
Arch users are like the car guys who spend all day tuning the engine and adjust the seats on namometer scale. I myself drive an ancient volvo that looks like shit but works great no matter the abuse I put it through. And I use LMDS for the same reason - it does what I need it to do, with no need for manually adjusting compression ratios.
I had a much better experience with Manjaro over EndeavourOS because it supported more of my hardware, but to be fair I'm using an Asus gaming laptop. When I build my next desktop, I'm gonna try a straight Arch install.
