Favorite Linux Distros?

[Metario]

It was really nice before I royally forgeted it up by trying to install graphics drivers. It's supposed to be relatively simple but something I did probably screwed up the settings in a really weird way so that it wasn't recognized by the nouveau open-source drivers.

The nouveau drivers are inferior to the proprietary ones in my experience. Unless you're being technopolitically-minded.

sudo pacman -S nvidia
(probably unneeded because it does it on install) sudo mkinitcpio -p linux

If I ever reinstall (Probably will) then I'll try those

also: lpt don't dd a disk without double checking the disk your doing it to, for me I accidentally DD'd the first 2 partitions of my disk, loving up alignment and making none of my data retrievable :(
At least it was a relatively clean install of arch

this thread make me forget around with linux distros, like mint and debian and stuff
i painfully installed arch linux manually and installed a desktop environment over it which sure was a good challenge

Only once???? I've had to install arch 20+ times due to my idiocy... I've got the entire install process memorized.
