Quoting: PangaeaHow representative are these numbers compared with the wider Linux community?

The reason I ask is that I'm surprised Linux Mint sits at below 10%. It has been my impression that this is one of the main distros, maybe the most popular by now, due to how easy it is to get into for beginners (like myself). Here, however, Arch has a big following. Maybe because the site is occupied by fairly advanced Linux users?

I think gamers tend to more often use rolling distros, since they provide more recent drivers and kernel out of the box, which is a common need for best performance. And Arch is one of the most popular rolling distros. Though in practice it's not one of the easiest rolling distros to use.

It's not one of the easiest rolling distros to install. For me it's easy to use.

Just in case anyone can find any value in it, here is my custom Arch install guide:

Tailored specifically for my use case of course. Still, it could give someone a rough idea. You should gain a proper understanding of what you are doing from the Arch Wiki as well of course.

That alone gave me a scare ...and underlines the "not easy" part. Think I'll stick to Mint :P

I honestly think it is easier to both install and use than Windows. Especially the abomination called Windows 10.

Quoting: Spud13yWouldn't uninstalling the programs from the Antergos repo and then removing the repo work just as well?
maybe, but I'm waiting for the update that the developers have promised

Quoting: TorqachuI need a fast method to install arch
Here you go. :)
maybe one day, maybe one day... my friend :D
Quoting: WhorMzy"but it's not Arch and won't be supported by the Arch community.
and sadly yes unfortunately

I practiced installing Arch by commandline about half a dozen tries to iron out the kinks in my installing process. Once you learn how to install it, it's a very good learning experience. There's also Manjaro. :)
