   Still can't decide between !ubuntu and !arch !linux. Both have pros and cons.

     @kainashi I use !ubuntu all the time - would like to hear your pros for !arch !linux

     @kainashi if you have experience working on console, and you like that, switch to archlinux. !linux

     @kainashi @wintellect Well arch is faster. It's harder to configure (at start), but later You'll get used to it :)

     @mmi99 @mikechelen Well, currently I'm testing !arch. I love it's speed and flexibility, but Compiz and Flash is slower than on !ubuntu.

     @wintellect I love flexibility, so I'm satisfied when I can install apps I want without deleting/disabling those I don't want.

     @kainashi I migrated to Arch + KDEmod from Ubuntu and feels zen. complete enlightenment.

     @kainashi if thats most important for you (i cant believe that), stay at ubuntu ;-) !linux

     @mmi99 well, it's not most important, but I'm pretty often watching some flash videos and so on...

     @mmi99 I moved to mainly console (gui for browser) from gui a few years back. Its great, more productive coding and it looks cool :-) !linux

     @ashcrow what do you mean with ... console (gui for browser) ?

     @mmi99 Mail, coding, music, etc is all via the console and screen. The only big reason I run a gui is for firefox. !linux

     @kainashi wonder why performance would be different? very happy with ubuntu (coming from debian) although haven't tried arch

     @mikechelen umm.. I think my english is not as good as it should be for explanation. Just try arch yourselves. Virtualbox should be safe.

   • Michael Chelen

     @kainashi thats a good idea, it might be difficult to tell difference in flash performance from a VM though

   • kainashi Michael Chelen

     @mikechelen thats true, but the only thing I had to do was turning compiz off. I have 8 yrs old PC, so that made a big difference.
