I tend to jump around. Right now I'm using Windows 10 just because the project I'm working on doesn't do a good job of supporting linux and I'm pressed for time. I like Arch a bunch (once you get past the set-up process) mostly because of how efficient it is, and because pacman is an excellent package manager (seriously puts all others to shame). It just can be a bit annoying when changing PC's very often, or when an update breaks something. It's usually not a problem and just takes a little tinkering to fix it, but if there are deadlines or if you're not experienced it may not be worth it to you. Otherwise Fedora is pretty good too. I've used fedora 25 for a while and there's a lot of support for it and its pretty easy to use right out of the box. It also helps that dnf is a pretty good package manager and rpm is supported, which can make a few installations a bit easier. It's also pretty nice getting some of the latest updates, and Gnome integration is excellent. Ubuntu is pretty good too. I tend to try to avoid it (as it is often seen as the "beginner's distribution"), but it can be a pretty good combination of up-to-date packages and stability (especially the LTS versions), and there is always a large amount of support for it. OpenSUSE is also pretty good, sometimes even a bit underrated. For a first time user, or even and experienced linux user using it for the first time, it can be a bit of a learning curve (and zypper kinda sucks as a package manager), but it can be pretty stable and perform pretty well. There's a bunch of others I like and have played around with, but those ones stand out the most to me.

I have to know, why has this not replaced the razer as his daily driver? I don't mean this to be personal or insulting, I just genuinely want to know the pros / cons of each, a genuine comparison of the two. Personally, the XPS 15 just makes more sense. With the refreshed versions of each, they both have the same processors, potentially the same RAM, and hard drive space. The XPS also has a larger screen in about the same general overall size, along with a much longer battery life. The 1050 card in there may not be as powerful as the 1060 in the Blade, but it is still quite competent, and if you truly want to use it for gaming chances are it with be on a desktop. Also, personally the Trackpad seems a bit better and I kind of think the separate click buttons on the Blade is a poor, ugly choice. I do understand the Blade has its own advantages though. The 1060 is quite powerful and if the 1050 in the XPS just won't cut it that's understandable. I also get wanting to have a full 4 PCIe Lane's for Thunderbolt 3 available. The Webcam and microphone on the xps are also pretty bad and if that's important I can get that. Also, RGB lighting... Just overall, it seems like you get a better deal with the XPS, especially considering the price difference and the power you get. Any thoughts on this? I just wonder because I'm considering the two different laptops and want to make the best choice for my needs. Just looking for some insight.
