Update about my daily driver setup using Arch Linux with XMonad and why I keep using Arch w/ XMonad. Arch Linux is a minimal and highly customizable with XMonad and will be a great place to start fresh on Linux. Is Arch Linux and XMonad worth trying in 2021? It's definitely a great place to be for Linux enthusiast and people trying to learn the deeper parts of the Linux operating system with Arch Linux. It just might be worth the extra effort of setup w/ Arch Linux and XMonad especially with this Stunning setup. Arch Linux is an independent Linux distribution that comes with a minimal setup and allows you to tailor the system to your needs. That means you can install whatever window manager or desktop environment you want and mainly to start everything on Arch Linux is done through the Command Line Interface. This is what makes it so minimal because you could technically run everything from just the terminal. Without installing anything else on Arch Linux now this might make it harder to interact with Linux, but it sets you up with learning about the internals.
