I have Arch Linux on all my computers, and, to put it bluntly, I love it. This is due to the fact that I am able to customise it to be whatever I want, and I know what is on my computer instead of It grows bloated over time, like windows. While I have had some trouble in the past with Arch, where all my faults and all of the problems I had were easily fixed. Overall, I just like having full control over my computer and making it look nice.

This con is subjective, but Arch Linux has a steep learning curve. At the start, things are hard, and You are very confused, but over time, you learn more and more. But if you enjoy learning how to use I would suggest Arch because I have learned so much from it.

Arch is not the most beginner-friendly distro, and when I started using Arch, I thought I knew how to use Linux through the command line pretty well, but I was proven so wrong, so fast, there were lots of failed when I started with arch, but I learned and tried again and looked at sources, while it is not the most beginner-friendly, you need to dive yourself into the deep and try if you want to get anywhere in Arch Linux.

This week's hardware suggestion I have for you is that if you are looking for a spare laptop to work on or try out Linux. I suggest you look for second-hand ThinkPad; they are very durable and are recommended for There are amazing keyboards, and I can back that up. If you look hard enough, you will find one that is Pretty cheep. I got my ThinkPad for £40 ($50), and it has an I5 in it. I use it more than my PC, so I would say it was worth every penny that I paid for it.

Linux distro of the week: Ubuntu

Ubuntu is a distro that many people start off with in the linux world and for good reasons it has everything you need. My personal experience with ubuntu was alright it was my second Linux distro, my first being MX Linux, this was when I was distro hopping and my experience was alright I could use the software manager to download and delete software and use that software and at the end of the day that is what a operating system is made for, I did not face any bugs or anything.

Pros

Ubuntu is rather easy to install and use, from my experience when I installed it there were no issues and the setup was seamless, all the default software worked and the Ubuntu store installed apps. In terms of usability it is very usable and I can see why many people use it.

Ubuntu has been alive for 19 years as of today and overtime it has amassed a giant community of people world wide, it is available in over languages even obscure languages like Irish Gaelic. @@ -50,16 +43,12 @@

Since Ubuntu has a large community this means that there are a lot of support, if you have an issue there is a high chance somebody else has encountered the same problem and has posted it online and you can see the solution yourself.

In the past, Ubuntu has been known to spy on its users. They also have a lot of proprietary code in the distro, so we don't even know what that code is doing

Ubuntu comes with a lot; some might say too much.

Hardware

This weeks hardware is the keyboard I have been using since Christmas so for a couple of months now and it is called the "Ducky one mini" whilst the sound is average it has a really nice feeling and you do not need to install any dumb software to change the colours you can just change then on the keyboard by pressing the function and alt key. There are also different modes you can put it in like random colours and such but I prefer solid colours, I would recommend the ducky one mini to anyone who wants an alright keyboard, I got mine for £20 ($24) second hand and I love it so if you are in the market for a keyboard have a look at the Ducky one mini.
