Which linux distribution for Julia development?

Actually, arch repositories are already on 1.0.1

On an older laptop I had issues with the graphics with an nvidia card on arch linux, while it worked fine on xubuntu. However, on my newer laptop that I just got recently, I have no issues with nvidia/intel/bumblebee.

The bumblebee setup on arch linux was extremely easy, it worked easily without much/any configuration and lets me switch between the integrated graphics and the dedicated graphics seamlessly.

How well the graphics works depends on your specific hardware.

TO manjaro users i highly recommend doing a vanilla install of arch, it’s a one time setup, and you will know more about your config files and how your system is put together. Manjaro might be good as training wheels, but I highly recommend eventually doing a vanilla install of arch, it is truly worth it. Then you will have better understanding of why some thing works or doesn’t work, and how to make things nice. Installing it from scratch is not as hard as it sounds. First time is gonna be more tough, but once you know how it works, you will realize that it really makes a lot of sense how the install is setup for a clean arch install.
