    As someone who uses Arch (btw) I would never recommend it for a beginner.

      I’ve heard that the Arch wiki is fairly helpful for people using other distros though. Haven’t made the jump quite yet. Trying to figure out what reasonably cheap monitor to get.

        It really is, I learned a lot when I played with Arch. I don’t use Arch anymore but it was a great learning experience. If you have an old machine that you don’t need to daily drive. Install it and play, break things, fix things, and don’t ask questions in the form. If it is a question that is answered in the wiki you will just be told to go read the wiki and maybe roasted a little.

          While I do have an HP2000 from 2010, I also just built a gaming tower that has nothing but a BIOS. I just need a decent and fairly cheap monitor. Suggestions are welcome, as I’m somewhat lost as to whether a tablet or an actual monitor is the best solution here.

            Sorry I am the wrong guy to ask. I don’t do desktops and I don’t follow specs. I am a bit of a luddite who happens to use Linux. Not sure how that happened.

      On the other hand, Manjaro asked me to preserve contents of my /home partition automatically, and that used to be the most difficult part of my Ubuntu reinstallations.
