PS. This is not a critique to Debian-based distros. And i’m not suggesting you to skip Ubintu for Arch either. Arch is a bit advanced and not too easy to new users, so that won’t do for some people…
… just install Linux Mint instead.

The typical path: Mint -> Arch -> Fedora.
That’s me, if settling on an atomic Fedora (Bluefin DX) counts.
It’s the most painless setup I’ve used, and everything I need to be productive is ready to go. Tweaking everything doesn’t have the appeal it used to.
I’m on Aurora DX, so yeah I would count that.
Why go past Arch? What’s the use case/flavor?
When you want to do work on the OS instead of working on the OS. Arch was a fun learning experience but eventually an nvidia driver or something shit the bed on me and I never went back. Outsource the unit testing to others. Fedora still has very new packages and you can still roll from release to release. Even better if you’re using one of the Fedora Atomic flavors.
People losing their voice from telling everyone they use Arch?
3 years later and I’m still on Mint.
The biggest switch I did was from mint to LMDE mint.
I’ve been really curious to try LMDE, but I’ve got everything working exactly like I want it to in regular Mint and don’t want to screw it up.
Also a sensible choice tbh.
Same. No reason to switch as I have no desire to tinker
Ibwish more linux people had this mentality of “if its not broke don’t fix it”. After years of floating around different distros, I just want something that works, is stable, and the OOTB is easy and works. So I’ve just gone back to mint debian edition. Idc, I don’t have time to be tinkering with my computer
Fresh breath -> curved spine -> m’lady
Yeah that’s me, but I started on Ubuntu. Arch is awesome, but Fedora does most of the same things and it’s so much easier to maintain an installation of
