“I had heard abοut ArchLinux back from the early days that
I started experimenting with GNU/Linux distributions. It caught my
attention for two main reasons:

“1. The mentality of Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS) and
lightweight.
2. It’s a rolling distro, which means you don’t need to upgrade
every now and then to newer versions to keep up to date. Just
update your way into everything new out there.

“To be honest, I had attempted installing ArchLinux on an old
laptop back then, but I failed miserably in completing the task.
Same disappointing results on Virtualbox on my desktop PC. Although
Arch has extremely thorough documentation available, I was stuck
somewhere between manually setting up the system files and
installing and configuring a working desktop environment. As an
newbie I couldn’t handle the pressure, so I gave up. But not for
long.”
