[aklug] Re: greetings

Well, I do some heavy lifting with my computer such as video editing, video
rendering, and ubuntu just can't handle it, even with their so-called
low-latency kernel. I had 14.04 LTS, and I could keep it going for a month
or so, but it would always bite the dust. I will say this, I used Ubuntu
for the first 4 years, and I liked it, but the day I installed Arch for the
first time I was hooked. Everything is so easy on it. When I have to do a
reinstall (every 4-5 months), I can reinstall my applications and system in
about 1 1/2 hours compared to 3-4 hours in Ubuntu because I am hunting down
PPA's, then adding them, and then the sudo apt install. In Arch, it is all
in the AUR, no hassle, and it works so much better. Everyone I know that
has tried Arch usually sticks with it. Can't say the same for Ubuntu!!
