Distro arguments are pointless and stupid. If you have been in two distro arguments and didn't spend the second one yelling that it was pointless, then I have a very simple strategy to help you learn: every time you see some kid post about how excited he is to have installed Ubuntu on his computer and you feel the urge to tell him to install Arch instead, punch yourself in the face until you feel like teaching him something besides pointless distro-hopping, then after you have sent the kid a note of encouragement or something educational, punch yourself in the dick until you feel like learning to do something with your own computer besides pointless distro-hopping.

@p This is the exact reason why so many people have a hard time switching to Linux. Making people feel like they chose the wrong distro and they fall for the install Gentoo/Arch/Slackware memes and get stuck right there. Who gives a shit if you're using Ubuntu, Mint, or elementaryOS.

@xianc78 Yeah, there are plenty of differences, but if you're talking about a switch from Windows or OSX to Linux, then the differences between distros are going to be tiny.
