What's Jow Forums's opinion on PCLinuxOS?
It is Mandriva based so it uses RPM but it is a Frankenstein distro, it uses apt-get (which is deprecated BTW) and RPM (which shouldn't be used with apt-get) and the only way to properly install packages is using Synaptic
The creator of the distribution removed Chromium from the repositories because it was too hard to maintain it but he keeps Google Chrome, Spotify and so on but it lacks basic programs, everything else is OK, I guess

arch linux is better
Jason Butler
It's systemdfree and it has the best software for out of the box but I'd personally use it only for laptop as a replacement for windows
Jace Martinez
This mess of a distro actually makes me want to create my own distro with every package manager installed alongside stuff that actively conflicts like sysv and systemd. Any time someone posts a buf report I would close it and say "clearly written in the manual how to solve this" but never produce or link a manual.

I tried installing Arch Linux today but the latest kernel has some power saving module which makes my sound pop just because I have hda intel, a realtek sound card or some shit like that

It's better than pacman to be quite honest
David Anderson
That's linux shit, it is not Arch's fault.
Colton Campbell
Best systemdfree distro: OpenBSD, GhostBSD, Alpine and TrueOS
Everything else is just trying to emulate windows or hipster minimalist shit
Benjamin Turner
Well what should I do? use a older kernel and break shit?
I'd rather use another distribution

You are realizing there is no good linux distro
That's why people keep switching all the time. All of them are unfinished and they will always be unfinished
one day sooner or later you'll build from scratch or move to BSD
