I use Arch BTW, so no problem with outdated packages. ;)

very cool post

Great article.

I don’t think this lawsuit is going to make a difference.

Arch wiki is the most comprehensive Linux wiki. Try that.

Its better to dual boot windows for windows programs. I am currently on Artix (Arch without systemd). I just like the OS to get out of my way when I am doing something and upgrade manually myself when i have free time.

Yep, open drivers have problems but nvidia proprietary drivers work fine. I use it daily. EDIT: Fixed spelling

What problem are you facing with NVIDIA?. Are you using noveau or nvidia properity drivers?

You are mostly right. Its tricky to get into Linux.

• Linux is not for running windows programs. Linux alternative of such programs suffice my need. although some can be installed using wine but its highly likely you will likely run into bug. Some apps such as adobe suite, office 365, etc won’t work at all.
• Those distro recommendation websites are garbage, don’t trust any of them. There are “basically” three main flavours
• Arch
• Debian/Ubuntu
• Redhat

Everything else is just based on them. Like pop os, Mint, Zorin are basically same under the hood. You can make any distro do whatever you want.

Its not a problem anymore. Nvidia Drivers work fine now.

Artix (Basically Arch without Systemd)

I just have a super crappy laptop with a hdd. So speed difference is quite noticeable. On systemd, boot times were greater than 2 min (done everything I could in systemd-analyze). So, I switched to Dinit which is new and quite barebones also a tad bit unstable (sometimes crashed for me). It allowed under 30 sec boot times. Then, I tested all init managers. Currently, on runit which is about 2-3sec slower than dinit but otherwise quite stable. I just choosed based on speed nothing else. I didn’t notice much difference in functionality. All allowed me to do all the things I wanted just in a different way. Artix linux allows easy switching of init managers

Tried everything in systemd-analyze and systemd-analyze blame. Still slow compared to dinit.

I used dinit, runit, openrc, systemd and s6 Dinit was the fastest.

Systemd is the slowest init system that I have used

Apart from boot time. I don’t have any complaint against systemd.
