If you want to lessen the barrier of entry to Arch, maybe try CachyOS. It’s Arch based and very close to normal Arch, but has some conveniences. Might be worth a look. It’s also got it’s own CPU speci

My son had a netbook with win10 and office. This ate 27 of the 32 GB the thing had. An “important update” of 8 GB did not work, putting the device in a download and fail cycle. I installed Linux on th

Are you saying Kubuntu is not as bloated as it looks? And I think Fedora will be smaller than that?

Since you are a coder, I suppose you using CLI should be fine. However, there are many other alternatives, which is fast and even based on Arch Linux.

If you are doing some gaming maybe try Bazzite, it will come setup for the hardware option you choose. Good place to start before jumping right into arch

CachyOS sounds like a good idea. And it’s also like Arch? Gonna look into that.

don’t switch to Arch if you’re a gamer. Go with Fedora or (i’m told) Bazzite

Will I survive the Linux CLI if I only switch because I'm a student and Arch distro speed?
I’m not a computer expert or planning to be. I’m just a computer user, a coder, a gamer, and I think I will get the opportunity to afford cheaper PCs if I use the Arch distro from Linux which is very lightweight and fast. I’ve heard Microsoft forces you to bloat your PC with win11.

Why would they even need to know? You can save it in .docx if you need to share it with someone.

How do you explain to your co-workers that you use Libre Office Writer and other Linux apps?
