How do you know that a person is using Arch Linux?

- They will tell you

@NoNameCode
scrolling on your profile proves otherwhise ;)

Why? What makes it different from all the other flavors? I'm just curious.

@enchance
I would never in my life use Arch on a production enviroment.

@NoNameCode
So you use it in a production environment that your customer och your business is dependent on it?

I like it because it is light, blazing fast, super customizable and surprisingly stable for being bleeding edge. Never seen anyone use it on a server though. Wonder why, seems like the minimal thing would be perfect for that?

this is so much true my friend was ranting about arch just Today

@epse
because it is not reliable, when used as a server.
For a dev enviroment or lab it is more suitable

So Arch is the vegan in the Linux family?

@tekhouse They are the vegan crosfitters of computers.

yes, true, but it is beautiful. rolling release, great docs, great updates.

I have an Arch Linux sticker on my computer. Now I don't have to tell people I use it.

But I do anyway...

Now that is awesome! LOL

@Jase
This is a very good question

@Jase being able to run Arch seems to be an indication that you have a lot of pc and Linux skills. It is an inherent trait of people to want to show off their skills.

@epse
Actually, the people I have meet that is using Arch does not have any special skills

What's Arch based on? Ubuntu?

@enchance nothing. Arch is arch. There is stuff based on arch though

@Linux it the air of skill, for some reason installing it is still widely regarded as difficult and running it seems to make you instant l33t pr0 h8x0r 420BlazeIt

@epse wise words mate, wise words

Manjaro imho > arch. Manjaro is stable it also uses pacman and aur both are a rolling distro arch = bleeding edge. Manjaro = leading edge.
My 2 cents

@Triskelion Manjaro-i3 was even more unstable than Ubuntu with i3 when I tried it, but plain Arch works perfectly fine. Manjaro, Antergos, and how they all are named are just some over-engineered installers, I would never use some of these systems, and nobody else should, they are buggy as hell. But each to their own...

@enchance You got full control 'cause you put together your own system from bare bones.

@epse Ubuntu's a distro based on Debian. Arch is a different flavor all together! Just like you've got Puppy Linux, Ubuntu, etc. based on Debian, you've got Manjaro and (a few) others based on Arch.

@theGeekyLad um yeah that's what I said...

You don't

I use arch btw
