Why does Arch have such a bad reputation?

Why does Arch have such a bad reputation?
Most elite hackers use it.
Arch is the way of life.

i didn't know arch had a bad rep, it's like the most loved distro here

how new

The fuck is your problem?
Either give a legit answer or don't say anything at all. No need to shitpost like a spastic 12 year old

lol

It doesn't have a bad rep. It's mostly sour grapes from brainlets who break their installs and realise they're too dumb to fix them.

It really doesn't. It's mostly just sour grapes people with distro envy. Distro fanboyism is stupid. I love Arch, but I still see the use of Ubuntu, Gentoo, and a few others that are quite good.

Any benefit if installing this on my 4690k over Win10 enterprise other than the botnet from MS?

It's better than wangblows in ever way.

The fuck is for problem buddy, chill out, he called you new and you get all defensive, must mean it's true, who gives a fuck if 'hackers' use arch, just use the distro you like and let that be the end

Nothing is ever better unless it's in your own use case, depends what you use at all, if your more of a gamer or use programs wine can't really run well then windows is usually your best bet, if your doing basic tasks and can find good software for your usecase then it's any flavor of Linux you decide is good for you (not bashing either or, just saying we all have use cases)

wyh she hit him so h ard :(

arch is good

>you either use Arch or you're too fucking dumb to maintain it
This is what Archfags literally believe

Nice answer thank you

Only ricers who are new to lunix use it
Experienced people use: debian, gentoo, *bsd, slackware, LFS depending on use case. Arch has no valid use cases that aren't better supported on other distros except "muh ricing wiki and unstable crap"

what? the literal creator of Linux use Fedora and GNOME DE.

I think this is what you mean by "elite hackers" nowadays, kids these days:

It's really useful for learning about linux and a lot of important packages but for commodity nowadays I prefer Manjaro.

I recently transitioned from Win10 to Arch, even after paying $10 for a Win10 key (because Win10 will be the last version supposedly). I installed KDE and some programs and it runs pretty much the same as Windows, minus spyware. Arch is a pain in the ass to configure though, so if anything goes wrong I'll have to go back through many hoops. Windows installation on the other hand is easy.

That video is a shame.
I'd like to see some actual expert hackers who are gay because diversity and stuff.

Windows installation is nothing more than just disabling personalised ads and other "privacy" settings.

GuixSD is the real Jow Forums distro.

wow this really shows how new you are

true i once hacked for chan with arch, dont ban me moot ;))

I compile my own updates.

I hate arch with a passion. At least with gentoo portage is smart enough to.include all package dependencies.

AUR is valid reason to use arch

Xddddd

Arch is gets shit from then never ending newfag horde of contrarian shitposters that dislike all the culture aspects of whatever board they washed up on

They're right!

Like it takes any brainpower to install or run Arch.

Debian's repos are more than twice as large as arch and aur combined.

Then why are there so many complaints that arch breaks when it doesn't?

Anyone who hates Arch is just a brainlet.

p7zip installed a nonfree binary, that pretty much made me nope right out.
arch's packaging is such a cluster fuck of License: Custom bullshit everywhere and it's nearly impossible to even know if you're stepping on some nonfree binary or not.

further, pacman is literally the worst package manager tool currently in existence.
It doesn't support basic shit like "globs" and requires you to understand command substitution and a bunch of shitty, non descriptive, flags to do something that can be done in dnf in one invocation and actually be human readable.

overall it's a lazy ass distro that basically exists to serve the arch developers, not the users.

That's why we have parabola

or maybe they know what a good distro looks like that actually has real talent behind the distribution (Fedora)

>To do: Linear Algebra
Hearty kek, that's a good bait image

Archlinux is for no enough autist to use gentoo

this guy is mad

Linus can't even install Debian, so he kinda has to use something that's easy to set up.

Years of Arch have turned you into a salty husk of what you once were, like beef jerky

Attached: 1525733911941.png (512x512, 51K)

it does not actually do anything you cant do with other distros that just werk out the box. inconveniencing yourself to be more 1337 is stupid. Using software for any reason other than it being the best/most pragmatic, makes you a fucking idiot.

Get a job, faggot, then you'll know why.

AUR is a broken piece of shit and the official arch repos are tiny
If you want to compile from source you might as well use a proper solution like gentoo

>install arch
>install discord
>have to install a bunch of dependencies
>libc++ or whatever it was called took 20 minutes
>want to install steam next
>it crashes every time you try to boot it up
>search for the error on archwiki
>it's a dependency issue
>can't have dependencies for discord and steam installed at the same time if you want steam to run
>install debian again
>everything just perfect

this
I'd rather reinstall gentoo every day, twice

It's not sour grapes. Trying to sort out dependency hell because Pacman removed an important fucking dependency when you removed shit is not fun. Arch is great solely because of the AUR and the clean website/wiki. It's just another random distro otherwise. The AUR is the lazy mans way of installing programs and the concept should be spread across the entire Linux ecosystem. The install process is just a filter to weed out people too stupid to read a build script from the AUR so they won't self own and blame the Arch devs.

Aqua is best girl though.

why would i set up 'vanilla' instead of installing this in a few clicks?

Attached: antergos.png (650x650, 14K)

Because you actually want customization instead of a 'best for the average retard'-installation full of trade-offs? install Gentoo

It's difficult to install
