  • now start using it for a while and you will notice the difference!

    you will see you have all of the latest versions of programs, that other distros wont have for 6 months!

    you will learn that the AUR has every package you could ever want!

    you will see that the Wiki has extremely comprehensive answers to every question!

    100% its the Wiki and AUR!

    On every other distro, once you want a program not in the package manager, it will likely be broken by the next update. On arch 99.995% of the time it will be in AUR and you can just make a simple PKGBUILD when its not, so your updates will automatically recompile all of your personal projects!

    Linux is not a company! Its a community driven open source project made by people like you who don’t want to be under a corporations thumb!

    There are many such open source programs, and they should be your first choice when looking for alternatives.

    I suggest trying the Fedora OS, and using the site alternativeto.net to find open source alternatives to any programs you need.

    Don’t forget to always use the packge manager to install sotfware!
