Just switched my girlfriend's laptop from Ubuntu 16.04 to Arch. Every single glitch and issue we were having is gone. She's even got some buttery smooth Wayland going.

    @MrJimmy Installing it takes like 10 minutes if you know what you're doing. I've installed it a bunch of times so it's not really an issue. In terms of worth, I think it is. Can't get into distro vs distro here, but I definitely recommend it.

    @irene She was using Unity up until now. I've got her setup with GNOME 3.

    If your girlfriend is technically inclined that's fine but if she isn't and isn't interested, it's going to be a hassle down the road.
    I'd recommend Mint or Xubuntu for the layperson. Even Manjaro if you want to stick with Arch.

    People think installing Arch is the difficult part. It's when you hit your first package issue and implement the fix that you understand Arch intimately.

    @Hastouki Well I was kidding, is it too much of a pain to configure and maintain?

    @simo002m haven't tried it in like 15 years. I just remember having to compile everything from scratch.
