  • I was interested in technology and programming and my mom recommended me to check out a raspberry pi. Her friend’s son has one. So my first comouter was a raspberry pi with RaspbianOS when I got my first PC it seemd normal to install something that I was using for the last year and its free. So I installed Pop!_Os, a year later Fedora and a half year later Arch. I’ve been using Arch for more than 2 years now.




  • I’m using Arch because you start with nothing and you can make any system you want. I have disk encryption, btrfs as a filesystem, secure boot with my own custom keys, I’m running self-build kernel, I’m using apparmor and I can use any program from AUR, etc. Thats my personality. Things that you can’t see but are important to me.

    On other distros some of these things would be very hard to do. Especially without Arch Wiki.
