If you are not a power-user this might be the choice for you. I loved it, but moved to Arch as Manjaro uses their own packages, which are still good, but not the same as the “pure” Arch packages. It is basically Arch, but made easy and user-friendly. If you are interested please comment or send me a message.Īdditionally, if you are fine with a slight abstraction layer Manjaro Arch might be a good choice for you. I have been thinking about providing an iso or img for my Deep Learning build for an easy install. I am at least happy with Arch, as it is way faster than everything I have seen before, and I can customize everything. Now, I am not saying that Ubuntu is bad, because the community is huge, and it is the perfect Distro to start your journey into the world of Linux, but once you are more used to Linux and need more speed, Arch might be the best next step. The motto of Arch can be described as “Customize everything, and be as fast as possible”, whilst Ubuntu’s motto would be “Make the installation and usage as easy as possible for new users”. In Arch, dependencies are handled nicely, and packages are not that abstracted as Arch is basically the “pure” Linux kernel itself.Īdditionally packages are coming out way faster, and the ArchWiki is said to be the most extensive documentation there is for an operating system. In Ubuntu, for example, it is quite hard to get TensorFlow and CUDA working for Deep Learning, as the Debian package structure is different and the installation slower compared to Arch. Summarized it is mostly because of speed, because Arch is way closer to the hardware and therefore way faster, less bloatware and therefore less RAM usage which I need to machine learning, and the amazing pacman and AUR packages which are fast and easy to install. In my other post, “How To: Ditching Ubuntu in favor of Arch Linux for a Deep Learning Workstation”, I have been explaining why I switched from Ubuntu to Arch Linux for my Machine Learning workstation.
