Ask HN: Using Arch linux and C#/mono?

1 pointsby backslash_16over 11 years ago
I typically do my Linux website&#x2F;web app development on a LTS version of Ubuntu desktop but the changes they&#x27;ve made like sending search results to Amazon and the age of some of their packages really makes me want to use Arch because of the distro&#x27;s rolling release policy.<p>And this is pretty obvious but for windows web app development I use Win8, C# &amp; MVC3&#x2F;4. I&#x27;m looking into the mono project and it looks really cool. At this point in my development career I really like statically typed languages and don&#x27;t mind the compile&#x2F;test cycle and with my windows experience C# on Linux seems like a natural exploratory step.<p>Does anyone here have any recommendations or opinions on using Arch 1) as a developer? (I&#x27;m wondering if a constantly moving dev environment is going to cause a lot of trouble down the road or if the constant stream of updates will be good as it forces the latest and greatest)<p>2) to develop web applications using the mono runtime and MVC 3 or 4 specifically?<p>If using Arch is a bad idea and there is a distro that does mesh well with using mono that would be great to know as well.<p>Edit: Make the title shorter and more clear
