  • Torrenting has existed for a long time, yet people still buy software. There is a lot more to software distribution than traditional product sale.

    You want to have frequent fixes, compatibility with modern tools, new features and a trustworthy distribution pipeline. These are all things people and corps are willing to pay for in FOSS software.








  • now start using it for a while and you will notice the difference!

    you will see you have all of the latest versions of programs, that other distros wont have for 6 months!

    you will learn that the AUR has every package you could ever want!

    you will see that the Wiki has extremely comprehensive answers to every question!

    100% its the Wiki and AUR!

    On every other distro, once you want a program not in the package manager, it will likely be broken by the next update. On arch 99.995% of the time it will be in AUR and you can just make a simple PKGBUILD when its not, so your updates will automatically recompile all of your personal projects!
