MacOS Catalina: Slow by Design?

I used Arch on a server once (still running) but found the experience on Debian was more to my taste, and somehow never liked pacman. Maybe it's time to take another look. I never tried it on the desktop.

Interesting, I have opposite experience. Pacman looks so much simpler than aptitude, apt-get, apt-cache, dpkg. And makepkg - it just works. I have not managed to create packages on Ubuntu.

No outdated packages, no ppa. No upgrade. Install is rough but it nails how simple the system is.

Ubuntu is a good starting point. But there is so much more.

I agree about makepkg / PKGBUILD -- I've casually made packages.

For debian/ubuntu it is not as straightforward.
