I've had unironically less problems while installing Arch.

what's wrong with debian trying to fight for your freedoms?

Wew that was hard

Wew it still doesn't work afterwards.

What's the issue?

I do like how Arch cares more about actually working than ideology.

It's fine as an ideal, but the way it's handled is just going to drive away potential users. I dare not suggest Debian to anyone who says they're interested in trying Linux.

Literally the only reason was trying to go for Debian this time is because Arch doesn't support 32-bit machines anymore, otherwise I would have.

can one ever grew from lisp sexiness?

what the fuck

Guixsd with non-free firmware

( no)

Yet it breaks itself constantly.

(((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))))))

>Yet it breaks itself constantly.
Never happened, like, ever.

Never had any problems with Debian, like, ever.

In procedure read_inner_expression: #:1:2: unexpected ")"

With the proper drivers and trying to configure, it will fail. One such is removing systemd and others are mainly issues around pacman. Doesn't help that the system ends up being held together by shell scripts fixing issues caused by other shell scripts.

apt update && apt dist-upgrade

>One such is removing systemd
Gee Paul, that literally happens in Debian too.

yeah Dedian is silly, I stopped using it for reasons like this. Ubuntu is way better for desktop use, and CentOS is way better for server use. There's no point in using Debian really.

devuan is unstable

C/C++ faggots BTFO.

I use arch32 it's great

End yourself literal soy.

i just installed debian sid on a fucking alienware laptop with some retarded network card. The default iso didn't work but the non-free one did.
Maybe you're mentally deficient user
