I've tried the BSD flavours but I think they are not really meant for desktop use by the casual user. Arch linux is awesome when it's done properly. I use Manjaro (Arch based) myself because it's easier to install.

Your right B, its not meant for desktop use. I have been for about 8 months though , just due to the job i have doing testing . super big fan of arch, its come a long way in a short time.

Im kinda an apple fanboy though for past couple of years... i hate to say that, but it seems to be true. I have about 15 apple products around the house

Moved on up to 8.1...not noticed much of a change since I used other tools and apps to boot to desktop and not have metro crap. Plus using custom themes always helps, sometimes I even think I'm back on win7 lol

never could get into win 8 / 8.1, there is a laptop around here the kids use that has it, i think i used it 1 time and told kids they could have it. the UI is too damn clunky in finding things if you ask me
