Accordingly, is Gentoo better than arch?
According to distrowatch, Arch Linux is the 8thin overall popularity, while Gentoo is at 47th. Whilepopularity may help, this may not help you to easily choose adistro. I haven't personally tried Gentoo, it could just bean amazingly functional and simple OS, while Arch had risenup much further with its head-start.
Then, is Arch better than Ubuntu?
Arch Linux is ranked 2nd while Ubuntu isranked 4th. The most important reason people chose ArchLinux is: Arch's goal of simplicity means there's usuallyone preferred way to get things done - through organized and welldocumented configuration files.
Arch Linux is perfect for"Beginners" Rolling upgrades, Pacman, AUR are really valuablereasons. After just one day using it, I've come to realize thatArch is good for advanced users, but also forbeginners. But not because it is easy. There is a lot goingon in assembling a fully functional Linux-baseddistribution.
