My Linux setup is secure, free of proprietary software and under my full control. When I run tcpdump, I&amp;#x27;m met with a clean log where every packet is one I recognize. I get to use my favorite window manager (awesomewm) and I don&amp;#x27;t have to worry about forced updates. My Windows install is quite a different beast - automatic updates, mostly proprietary software and no major customizations other than performance tweaks and what the OS allows. I use it for gaming and media, and it works great. Boot times are very short with SSDs so restarting is not a problem. No compatibility issues, no fussing about with drivers and no need for translation layers like the Windows Subsystem or WINE; just two independent OSs that never let me down.&lt;p&gt;That said, no hate toward this project. Arch Linux is probably my favorite distro (although I&amp;#x27;m on Xubuntu at the moment).</text></comment>

How can anyone tell this is related to Arch Linux? Why do the readmes link to 404s? All of this seems rather unfinished. Could have polished at least the github presence a little.&lt;p&gt;Also, what are the advantages compared to solution like &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;RoliSoft&amp;#x2F;WSL-Distribution-Switcher&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;RoliSoft&amp;#x2F;WSL-Distribution-Switcher&lt;/a&gt;, which allows selecting different distributions, including Arch Linux?</text></comment>
