Antergos my fucking ass. The install was great and fast. Now the huge glaring difference between this and Antergos. You cannot even manually install fucking PAMAC, huge warning when you try and it's worded stronger than any other warning I've seen before. Also when I installed cinnamon I had to restart by updating the repositories that were supposedly updated "so I thought" when I did an update on the system. I rate this needs work, stable but not for a new user by far. Also without a graphical installer I cannot do a bunch of searches or just scan the files available. DO NOT INSTALL THIS UNLESS you just want arch with a desktop and are cool with all updates using the terminal and all software installs.

Thanks for doing this.

I enjoy it. I figure if I find the mistakes and shortcomings someone else won't get a headache doing it since I have a real stable temper so I don't get mad but really disappointed easily so it's no big deal, now to format and install something else just for fun. Likely I'll try mint again since it's been a couple of years since the last time I've used it so it might be much better though I loved it since it was the linux I popped my distro cherry with.

This is new taking up were Antergos left off. I'm going to format my Antergos install and install this to try it out. I'll let everyone know how smoothly the install goes.

Please do. I'm curious about this. Fedora is my current driver but Arch seems interesting.

Arch itself is for intermediates and up. Arch is a very very stable distro. Now this is not like Antergos, antergos was simple yet effective at the same time. THis is just a bad fake of it. I suggest trying Manjaro myself, it's different than antergos but it at least comes with a graphical installer. I'm using MX now and it's stable as fuck and runs in ram on a usb3 stick, it updates all the time to the stick it finds your usb drives and does everything a drive installed OS does but in ram so it's much faster. You just put in a usb stick you burned the ISO on and install it to another usb stick and then reboot and it's boot without F keys since the grub entry is on the usb stick. Now another good one I had installed was Feren OS, nice, quick, smooth, and decent looking also. SO check out MX linux and Feren Linux for possibilities, MX is debian based and Feren is Ubuntu based.

Tried Manjaro. It's not nearly as good or stable as folks claim. Tried MX, shit broke when they did a kernel update. Mint and Fedora are the only two distros I've used that just work and don't break 2 months in. But Ubuntu's fuckery with 32bit libs in the future, and forcing snaps down your throat, means I'm never using an Ubuntu based distro again
