It is a useful collection of software packages with great documentation. Arch is for example useful if you want to program with new Rust versions, tools like jujutsu, cross-compile for your Sailfish phone, and so on. (By the way, Guix features now a recent Rust/cargo version, too!) And both Debian and Arch have advantages / disadvantages, so both are useful for different tasks. Learning Arch is really not a big step or costs much time if you know the foundations of Linux. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] laurathepluralized@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago +1 on the great documentation! Have I ever used Arch? No, and there are enough distros out there that I'm not sure I ever will. But have I ever referenced Arch's wiki? Yes, often, and plan to continue to do so. <3 to the Arch Wiki authors! permalink fedilink source parent
