I need:
Really tempted to try #Debian, currently have #Mint running on the old machine, but I also like Arch.
I need:
- Full disk encryption
- #Xfce
- Resume from disk (while full disk encryped including SWAP)
- VirtualBox

to keep my "custom" files separated from the managed files. Then in~/git/
or~/SVN/
or~/hg/
I keep the local clones of the source code. When I build them I have e.g.~/git/build/
for keeping build files separated from the source code.Steph20

I don't use it, just the users I support like it and it's easy. For myself I prefer Debian.

I used archfi for installation, it offers many options bit it takes a long time. Wish someone would offer a faster way. For my servers I got a script, whole server installation takes about 1 minute with all I need.

Unknown parent • • •Maybe should have used testing instead of Buster... But I thought I will just install, then add backports and install a newer kernel, but was kind of frustrated when all this did not work out and then wanted to try if Arch works better. I mean seeing of works on Arch (WiFi, LAN and touchpad) it is likely some driver issues (maybe also AMD GPU problem) that caused the problems, so that is likely to be fixed with more recent kernel.
