Great operating system with minimal user input needed

I like how easy it is to install, all you need is your package manager (pacman) installed and you're good to go. The default configuration is great and can be changed to suit personal preferences.Archlinux is free software, so there's no support costs. There are some dependencies you may need to have pacman or AUR installed as well, but these are often available in other linux distros as well. If you have an ubuntu machine lying around, have a look at archlinux. You'll get what you're looking…

Pros
  • The choice of the software available
Cons
  • I have to install arch using a small install, and it's a small or no go for some

Arch Linux - Easy to use and reliable

I like that Arch works well with existing software and doesn't require an entirely new set of tools or configurations. The documentation is very thorough, but sometimes it can be hard to figure out what you need to do when something goes wrong. While using Arch for a few years now I've found no issues.

Pros
  • Documentation available in both text format aswellas PDF's which makes learning howto administer your system easier than other Linux distributions such Debian based ones where everything needs manual configuration files etc.etc
Cons
  • Not really any downsides at all just wish more people knew about this distribution

Great distribution - powerful & yet very simple

I like how easy it is to use and configure. There are many pre-built packages available for almost any need. I also love the fact that you can customize everything from the look of your desktop, to the way programs run. The only thing I dislike about arch linux is that it's not as user friendly as some other distros out there. If you're looking for something with a lot of customization options but still want something that will be easy to install and use, then Arch Linux is definitely worth…

Pros
  • What makes me most happy at work when doing things in arhiclinux? Well..there isn't really anything specifically what stands above all others! That being said though..I believe their community website has made development easier than ever before by offering free hosting (for non profit), which gives people who don’t know much computer programming or web design experience accessability through our site instead o f
Cons
  • Some little things
