Archlinux — pure awesomeness (+ how to change Linux console font)
Today I checked out Arch Linux. It’s just that cool. It’s a minimalistic distro that focuses on, well, minimalism, simplicity and elegance.
What’s more of a pleasant surprise is that I find the Arch Linux Wiki to be probably the most comprehensive and high quality resources of Linux in general available on the net. Among those gems, I’ve found the way to change the font at the console. I’ve been using nix environments for a couple of years and this is the question that has always bugged me but nobody seemed to have talked about. There you go, several years of research 
Setting up Arch Linux was a pleasant learning experience from itself. The package manager pacman offers the same level of convenience as the famous apt, if not more. The nice thing about it is that Arch’s packages seem to be much more recent than those ancient rugs on Debian and Ubuntu.
At the same time, Arch doesn’t bog you down with lots of unnecessary stuffs. Right out of the box, Arch almost doesn’t have any packages, and you have to edit a couple of config files just to be able to download things from the repos. But it was a pleasant learning experience, largely attributable to the excellent wiki.
If you want to improve your nix-fu or just want plain, beautiful distro to play with, give Arch a try!
