Arch Linux For Newbies? Manjaro Is Here!

Penurious Penguin writes "Well within the top ten Linux distros, Arch Linux has a strong following for sure. But with an installation process requiring a little more involvement than the average distro, not every prospective user is ready to embrace the Arch Way, and understandably so. This is where Manjaro steps in. With a 100% compatibility with Arch, uncompromising adherence to principia KISS and a pre-configured Xfce, — or alternatively available GNOME & KDE — those who've been hesitating to explore Arch now have a few less excuses. And a little side-note for those still bitter about the lack of package-signing: You'll be glad to know that Arch fully implemented package-signing in June of 2012."

    Since the age of the quest.

    It's not like this is some kind of Zen koan.

    Indeed. To be like something, a thing must not be that something.

    Dumb fucking neckbeards.

    Have I passed the test, or has it passed me?
