The reason I chose archlinux is because First of all, it is a rolling release, so everything is up-to-date, gcc10.1.0, clang10, gnome3.36.2, kernel 5.7.1. So there is nothing to stop my love of archlinux.although I don=E2=80=99t know how to keep it up t= o date , But it=E2=80=99s the latest Secondly, it drives all my hardware, including sound card, nvidia graphics card, wireless network card, screen brightness and touchpad. Third, its package manager pacman is very powerful and rock-solid. Unlike debian's apt and dpkg, it needs to handle a lot of dependencies, and onlyone pacman can handle all. Fourth, it uses systemd, so it starts quickly. The inspiration for systemd is based on maccos launchd, which is even better than it. And there is no need to buy Apple's expensive hardware, it is plug-and- play, such as usb drive inserted into the notebook can be quickly recognized. I don't care if it violates the unix philosophy, because who cares. Fifth, it is highly customizable, you can install xfce, gnome, kde and other desktops, unlike ubuntu, which only contains gnome by default. And it can set up its own partition, only in my system is divided several partitions/, /boot ,Swap, /home , and always stable, there is no useless partition like ubuntu. devtmpfs 8114488 0 8114488 0% /dev tmpfs 8133452 424008 7709444 6% /dev/shm tmpfs 8133452 10240 8123212 1% /run tmpfs 8133452 0 8133452 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/nvme0n1p2 212600300 39263488 162467668 20% / tmpfs 8133452 16 8133436 1% /tmp /dev/sda1 1921802500 112952664 1711157776 7% /home /dev/nvme0n1p1 1046512 102208 944304 10% /boot tmpfs 1626688 20 1626668 1% /run/user/120 tmpfs 1626688 32 1626656 1% /run/user/1002 tmpfs 1626688 0 1626688 0% /run/user/0 Sixth, it is stable, as stable as debian and freebsd. Seventh, it exists a wiki. Although I don=E2=80=99t understand what it=E2= =80=99s talking about most of the time, it provides a way to solve problems. Eighth, it also has a community-based source code package, AUR. Unlike freebsd's concentration, it is more decentralized, but it solves many of my problems. Ninth, it is small, and there are not so many useless dependency packages installed, that no taking up a lot of disk space. Tenth, it is based on X86, of course, it can also drive the server, but few people try. Because it is only based on X86, it made my notebook a good experience. Of course, I also run freebsd in my oracle VM virtualbox, freebsd is also my favorite operating system, its structure is even better, but it is not available. The touchpad, nvidia graphics card, and wireless network card are not recognized, and the screen cannot adjust the brightness. In addition, its startup code feels back to the 90s. I think archlinux's ok startup is more fascinating. It made me realize that I was running a stable unix system, not a mess of code. I also don't like gnu's grub, freebsd's btx bootloader seems better. I have also tried ghostbsd. Although sysctl hw.acpi can be set to adjust the screen brightness, it is not as ready to use as archlinux. I mean, compared to archlinux, the structure of freebsd seems to be better, but it is not as good as archlinux. I will continue to run archlinux on my physical machine, and only learn freebsd in the virtual machine.
