Hi Nicholas!

Never used arch before, but heard good things.
Main reason was that my HW is a focus for Manjaro.
https://www.pine64.org/pinebook-pro/
The HW has some quirks and Manjaro have dedicated support for it. (Pinebooks are now delivered with it.)
The Previous Debian build was from one guy.
He did a great job, but it was a bit too much for one person.

Anyhow ... I am currently quit happy with it.
But I am still struggling a bit with apt update versus pacman -Syu
I find it highly unintuitive.

I need to take a closer look at desktop distros.
I start to dislike Ubuntu more and more ...
But I am too lazy to look for a better alternative.
Maybe I switch to Kali on the Desktop ...
Do you also use Arch on the Desktop?
How does it compare to Ubuntu on the desktop?

On servers I use Debian, and I am very happy with it.
(I do not mind the older releases it ships with ...)

CU, Ricsi
