This is one of the many reasons I run Arch. It's clear to see significant performance gains from having newer stuff.

+1 It's not just the newer stuff, in Arch the whole system feels a lot faster (and i've been using debian since v2.2...)

How do you know someone uses Arch Linux? They'll always tell you.

Hi there, I'm using Arch Linux.

By the way, why is Ubuntu using Deadline as default? CFQ is faster on rotational media, and Noop is faster on solid state. Is it a compromise? Why not just have a Udev rule to use different schedulers for different media? That's what I do.... on my ARCH LINUX system.





Arch Linux. That's what I use.

That's been my experience with it. I use Debian unstable because it's rolling release and it's actually more... uhhh stable, than Arch.

Of course. How else are you going to know that I installed my Linux system from the command line and configured all the components of my system myself?

I've also done Linux from Scratch once. Now that was a doozy to install...
