Hardware has come such a long way, but that is a post unto itself. Having always worked with Ubuntu and other debian variants it was time to venture into a more lean distro. I picked <a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/arch_compared_to_other_distributions">Arch Linux</a>, on the recommendation of several colleagues. It&rsquo;s been fun. <a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/pacman">Pacman</a> and <a href="https://archlinux.fr/yaourt-en">Yaourt</a> are great package managers, and the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_release">rolling release</a> model ensures access to the bleeding edge all the time.</p>
