I am beginning to understand how CatchyOS works. Even though, it has streamlined its applications, it still needs 10GB for the /root partition and ideally 15GB. It needs a liberal /var partition and I gave 10GB. That is if addition applicstions are intended.
It is a Rolling Release and ond need not try to update after install which should be online.
Kernel is brand new ? 17.1.1
One Desktop at install and my favourite is GNOME and add Plasma later.
Both Desktops are beautiful and elegamt.
It has both Graphical Installer and Octopi, the Command Line installer.
Terminal installer is the easiest.
It is all configured for you and one has to click the application and type password and say OK. The easiest of all.
It has Gparted on Live KDE Session of the install image which is 3GB.
WiFi configuration is smooth.
It has several browser and several Word Processors and Joplin.
I withdraw my earlier adverse comments.
It takes bit more RAM than Debian Gnome but is more impressive than Debian (sorry Debian my favourite distribution).
I think all ARCH distributions Rock.
I started accidentally with BlueStar Linux which is the most beautiful KDE Desktop with plenty of applications. I had to add only AbiWord which is my favourite Word Processor.
It has everything in one package and I love ticketing.
If you are new to ARCH, I recommend BlueStar. It gave the option to install online mode in the past but not lately which is good, if you are a newbie.
Endeavor OS is minimal but one can pad it up later.
Then I went to Endeavor and got hitched to Manjaro which is the easiest of all.
There mamy more including Reborn OS which is very flexible, Storm OS and many more which I have not tried.
ARCH Linux storms the desktop.
Why go for Ubuntu which is a total disappointment. I used to test each Ubuntu distribution from from Ubuntu 6.
I was never a fan of Ubuntu, once I got hooked to Debian.
Emmabantus which is coming from France is very slow to change and its GRUB is hopeless.
Zorin OS trying to emulate windows.
I actually hate Zorin OS
