I really love it on my laptop.

The only thing that scared me is its reliance on Ubuntu. I wonder if it can go beyond that some day somehow. Plus I wanted to try something different. I have no idea what I'm talking about btw.

I just really aimed for it due to the meme.

Babby's first words are "I use arch btw"

Nice find!

Maintained by a Hungarian too, coolio.

It did! I just checked and I put it (arch) on the back burner for four months.

But yes, Mint and similar easy to install distros are the way to go for someone new for sure. Probably don't even need to move on from it ever, as long as it works.

Not everything is as snappy as I'd like it to be yet. Maybe KDE Plasma is not the best for my 12 year old system. Been thinking I should have gone with the zen kernel.

But I'm having tons of fun while discovering it nonetheless.

That'd be hard core. Alas, I don't have balls of steel and/or a mushy brain like that.

I bet there's still someone out there that makes it work somehow.

I did it! I did it over the long weekend. Been using Windows since 3.1 (albeit only switched fully from MSDOS when Windows 2000 came out).

I did a test run on my laptop during time away from home/desktop over the summer, using Linux Mint, to see if I can do work and school on an unfamiliar system exclusively. On Mint I never had to open the terminal and everything worked right out of the box. Cinnamon is very similar to Win10 too. Heck, I can't even remember the installation procedure, it was so hands off and easy.

After two failed attempts of Arch on the same laptop, I've managed to install it with help of archinstaller on my main desktop. No idea what I'm doing, but I got it up and running to a state where I can do both work and school.
