Dows - > Ubuntu

I've been a Windows user for a while, but now that Ubuntu came out, I decided to try and make the switch to 'nix.

Is Ubuntu all that it's cracked up to be? And will I be able to learn the nix commands so I can eventually switch over to something along the lines of slackware?

I was going to post that you son of a bitch ;_;

Anyway, Arch Linux is the way to go.  It's simply superior in all ways (except AUR perhaps, but there are tools that make it easier).

Linux Snobs don't look down on it, because it is so easy to install and handle.

Handle?  No, Ubuntu sucks at handling.  In order to do anything, you have to:
1. Find documentation (there is no official documentation and not even an official discussion forum, there might be mailing lists though)
2. Add 100000 package repositories
3. Copy pasta commands
4. ????
5. Anything but profit

While in Arch all I'd have to do is this:
1. pacman -S package

And I'd be set.
