Move to Archlinux as Daily Driver
Previously I wrote an article (in Indonesian) about using Xubuntu as my main operating system. After struggling with my desire to try a lot of Linux distros, I choose to go back to Arch Linux. In my opinion, Arch Linux is the best option for me because it gives the user a smooth experience for its user trying different desktop environments as well as window managers and Wayland compositors. Arch Linux is also the best option for users who want to get the latest version of applications.

My experience with Arch Linux is good so far. I always refer to their Wiki for further information. They provide an instructible Installation guide.

Update packages on Arch Linux |
Arch Linux is a rolling release distro, it is recommended to regularly update the packages. User can execute command
sudo pacman -Syyu
I do this every day as mush as possible, the update size is reasonable. If only updates for small applications are available, they will be under 100 MB, but if the updates include the desktop environment components, it will be larger. Make sure you use the nearest and fastest repository, it will go smoothly. To get top 20 fastest and latest repository, user can execute this command
sudo reflector --latest 20 --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
