https://danielonsecurity.com/ - I am a penetration tester and write about security obviously. In order to encourage IPv6 usage, I disabled IPv4 for the main domain, but since many have complained they cannot reach my blog, I decided to create an ugly subdomain for IPv4: https://myinternetprovidersuckssoihavetouseipv4.danielonsecu...

Right. MAJOR. For example I use awesome 3.5 as my WM. It's a pain in the ass to install it on Debian. Wheezy libraries aren't compatible with the latest version of awesome. If you want to upgrade libc, you'll break the whole system.

Both are good. It depends on your needs

Even if I'm not against systemd (it has its downsides, but it's not that bad as everybody thinks), I still think the user should be given a choice. So yeah, they probably crossed the line in this case.

I completely agree that we need comprehensive documentations. That's irreplaceable when you need to properly configure something. Good manuals are mostly used as a reference.
The Arch Wiki is something different. It guides you step by step how to reach your destination, and that's what most of the users need.

That's a really nice survey. Thanks for sharing!

I didn't know about cower. Probably should give it a try. Thanks for the idea.

What kind of recent decisions do you mean?
I've heard good things about Gentoo, I'd definitely give it a try someday. How would you compare it to Arch? Can you make a brief explanation what you like/dislike about them?

Sorry for the downtime, it's fixed now.
Maybe some advanced users could start with Arch, but most of the people I know, will find it too difficult and give up on it. Yes, it's a great way to learn how stuff works, but it's just not for everyone. And in my opinion, beginners should start with something different. I'd never recommend my mom to try Arch for example.
