I've spent the last two weeks using Arch Linux^[1] as my primary desktop operating system. My goal is use Linux as my daily desktop OS. This has been no short journey--taking up my spare time as I tinker with multiple Linux distributions. Along the way I wrote my own set of basic scripts to install Arch from an installation ISO.

I'm not yet convinced Arch Linux is my go forward daily driver, but so far it satisfies most points on my checklist for my next desktop OS. Good documentation, solid community participation, cutting edge^[2] updates, and flexible configuration make Arch a good fit for me.
