Hi All
I would like some perspective. I am pretty new to linux although i have played with it for awhile and am going through command line tutorials. I have three devices with linux installed. I have a older laptop with Arch installed. I have a raspberry pi with arch arm loaded. I also have a surface pro with Manjaro installed. Obviously theses are Arch linux based os's. It was fun to build the system from scratch on the laptop. I am interested in preparing and taking some of the linux exams and getting some certifications. My question is this. I know that Arch uses AUR repository and is a source for lots of packages that a guy may want. I am confused why when you go to a site like virtual box why they don't list Arch as a option for downloads. I know you can get it from AUR but Virtual box has download for 25 different distros but Arch is not one of them. Is Arch not as popular as i thought. If i am interested in getting certified should i be using another distro as my main distro?
