Well their partitioning utility sucks and kept trying to make a swapfile on the usb stick I was using to install it from. Then it tried to put the boot/efi partition there. I had told it to put the boot on sdd1 where the other ones are. I even added a swap file and it tried to do it's own. I just started over and redid the eniter partitioning scheme again. Now for the newbs, do not install Debian, it is not simple like Mint. For everyone I decided to give LXDE another try now that I have 5 years experience with linux now, it's a crippled gui in my opinion. So I went into synaptic and installed XFCE, so much better but not as good as the version in MX18. It's panel has less options and can't adjust the clock text size of color at all. I also hate PCman with not open as root or anything. Also desktop apps are not just addable but configuring a launcher like in xfce and thunar. So much bad stuff that hasn't gotten better with linux and so much that has gotten worse for no reason. Now for all linux developers one old phrase that is so wise. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Yup but it's still installed on my SSD and they are going to do an update changing all the updates to arch servers so we'll keep our dear Antergos for a while yet.

it's a real shame to see it go. I've never been a fan of how disconnected Manjaro is from Arch, and Arch itself is simply too hard for the base level computer user to comprehend. Just because you can follow instructions to install it doesn't mean that you'll be able to fix the distro every time you hit sudo -Syyu

Thats for sure. Hell I'm done when I hit bash without a login screen on first boot.
