    Arch is the truest test of how much you’re willing to sacrifice for control.

    You get control of everything on your system, but you’re basically on your own when it all goes to shit… which from how many of these posts I keep seeing seems to be a daily occurance haha

      For me arch was just a fun project that helped me understand how operating systems work and how they interact directly with hardware

      Hardly.

      Gentoo is closer, it’s like Arch except you’re supposed to COMPILE every package…

      Then there’s Linux From Scratch. You don’t download the Distro, you download the manual on how to MAKE the Distro.
