raymac46 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I don't know if you have ever seen a Model T assembly team do their thing. I saw one at a baseball game in Toronto a few years ago. A bunch of people come out with a bunch of parts and in less than 10 minutes they drive away a Model T Ford. Quite amazing to watch them work. An Arch install is kinda like that. With a regular distro install you do a few mouse clicks, type a bit - and drive the car away. With Arch you put the parts together - some you choose and some are chosen for you but it's an assembly process at heart. It's worth the effort though. One thing I learned was how the graphics elements fit together. I think I now have a good basic appreciation of the differences between an X server, a display manager, a window manager and a full fledged desktop environment. I would never have gotten as good a feel for the whole topic without installing Arch from the ground up. So if you haven't done an Arch install I'd really recommend you give it a try. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
