Unfortunately, the distro whose philosophy I like the most has a package manager that I like the least. Therefore, instead of Arch, I use Ubuntu.

I know pacman doesn't do everything that apt/dpkg does, but for a personal machine I highly prefer it to any other. What exactly don't you like about it?

I'd like to know as well. I love the simplicity of pacman.

Have you tried Mint instead of Ubuntu? It's like Ubuntu's hot, skinnier, younger sister.
