Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.

Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.

Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

What Linux distro do you use? What do you use it for? What is your experience with it? Why did you switch to Linux?

What's part of the learning curve?

Probably the installation of the distro itself, since it doesn't have a graphical interface that most computer savvy people are used to. I've heard that nvidia driver installation used to be complicated, and it's usually necessary to employ command line for that. And even after you install Gnome or KDE, you'd still probably have to use bash for many, many things that you want to adjust or install. Oh, and since it's a rolling distro, it can easily stop working after you update it. That's what I know, I've never used Arch myself, been sticking to Debian-based distros for now.

Re: rolling updates breaking stuff. Doesn't really happen. If there's an issue updating there's usually already an announcement explaining why and what to do. Also, Archwikiist just great.
