Introduction
Linux is a widely used term when it comes to programming and tech discussions. Most people in the least understand vaguely ...

So cool to see young folks doing tech stuff and even writing about it! Nice job, keep at it Raheem!
Totally agree that everyone, especially technical people, should at least give Linux a try. Then hopefully one day we won't be forced to use Windows in corporate environment anymore.
Personally I've been using KDE neon and am very happy with it.
KDE Neon also gets my vote. I run it on a Slimbook, the machine built for it.
I agree with the author on all points other than Windows being easier to use. I find Windows 10 totally baffling - a complete mess of disorderly contradictions with nothing easy to find. KDE is so logical by comparison.
I've always had trouble getting Arch setup. I think one time I even accidentally overwrote part of the boot sector using
gparted...Also, is that desktop XFCE? or something different?
there is an installer for Arch called Architect which provide all the functionality necessary to install arch in a easier way
Also ArcoLinux is Arch pre-configured with all that you need
Oh really? Interesting, I'll have to take a look at it. Thanks!
Antergos is another option based on Arch, with user friendly installation. Arcolinux is also a good option.
If I'm not mistaken Antergos project was discontinued
Oh wow, I just looked this up and you are right. As of May 2019 it has been discontinued. That’s sad ! I used it for a long time before switching to Debian some months ago.
It's Xorg + i3 + polybar. Really fast, and very easily configurable.
Regarding the boot sector: rip.
Debian is the best so far to me. It's doing great then install the window manager you want for the gui I recommend xfce for flexibility and customization
BTW, Manjaro Linux is much easier for installation and is also based on Arch, so it has most of Arch advantages. Especially the great documentation and the simple structure of the configuration files.
Yeah, true! Certainly a good distro for those who don't want to get their hands too dirty!
Amen brother
Raheem, keep it up! Excellent article and I couldn't agree more. I've just started using Linux Ubuntu and can't see myself ever going back to Windows! Mint also sounds good, may have to try it:0)
