The great big 3

Gentoo

And it's Debian.

Ubuntu is top tier. Normal fags don't wanna configure anything.

Do you consider yourself that?

>Shit tier
Manjaro, Mint, Ubuntu
>Normie tier
Arch, Debian
>Good tier
Devuan
>God tier
Gentoo
>Elder God tier
LFS

>and it doesn't make sense to me why anyone would pick it
Of course you don't. That would involve you using a computer for more than larping and shitposting. Out of the gorillion reasons someone could give you, I'll just give you one of mine: fuck having to install a separate "development package" for every single fucking thing I need to compile a given program.

this is wrong
the big 3 are Gentoo, Artix, and Void with Devuan a runner-up

Yeah, that's obviously what I was saying. Neck yourself, you disingenuous fag.

You forgot this one

care to explain what you meant by this then? I think the guy you responded to gave very good reasons as to why debian or gentoo are better for the typical use cases arch is for

Shouldn't you be at your basement managing dependencies?

>care to explain what you meant by this then?
Exactly what I said. None of it was lost on you.
>I think the guy you responded to
By that you mean yourself.
>gave very good reasons
And I gave a very good reason. So here we are.

>By that you mean yourself.
nope
>fuck having to install a separate "development package" for every single fucking thing I need to compile a given program.
install gentoo

Try to install KDE on Gentoo. It is impossible. Thousand conflicted packages. 15 hours of Chromium compiling. Muf. Peace of shit.

>nope
yup
also, you're a spineless little faggot
>install gentoo
Great, so now I literally have to compile EVERYTHING including my core operating system. And then again every time something updates. Seems like a fine use of time for a NEET, though.

>yup
no, is it really this hard for you to fathom that more than one person disagrees with you?
>Great, so now I literally have to compile EVERYTHING
>what is a binhost
gentoo is not for brainlets
maybe you should just stick with arch, sweetie

>no, is it really this hard for you to fathom that more than one person disagrees with you?
But there isn't more than one person. It's just you, you gutless shitneck. I like how that other faggot is magically gone from the thread and you're here to take his place.
>inb4 the synced "proof" post from the pc and phone at the same time
>what is a binhost
Dunno. Why don't you tell me exactly what it is, since you think it's important enough to mention?

The big one.

Don't install Gentoo. I'm pretty sure the Xorg update will break my setup.

fpbp

yeah, now its just me, I hopped in the thread to post and found a faggot (You) to belittle
>what is a binhost
google it you mongrel
also, it is literally what the name implies

looks like somebody didn't read the manual
fix your profile, nigger

>yeah, now its just me
No, it was always you. You sad pathetic little liar.
>google it you mongrel
Fuck off. You either have a simple explanation that might convince me it's worth my time or you don't.

Arch has more update to date packages and is more stable than Debian unstable debiantard.

>unable to fathom what a binhost could possibly be
let me give you a hint, it's a bin host.
you're not worth my time

My lord...

>it's a bin host
Gee, a host for binaries? That I no doubt have to provide service for and compile myself? Pretty sure Gentoo doesn't provide, in any capacity, precompiled binaries. Wow, so now it seems like I'm adding even more steps and hardware to do a task I didn't want to do in the first place. Absolutely genius!
>you're not worth my time
And Gentoo apparently isn't worth mine.

fuck kill marry

>uses Arch/Gentoo
>has the nerve to make a basement dwelling joke
shouldn't you be trying to fix your broken joke of a distro/waiting for your updates to compile?

I was just giving you a secondary option since you seem to think compiling is the devil even though your reason for not using debian is that it takes a few extra apt install commands to get ready to compile
Keep using arch you stupid mongrelized fuck, I bet you have never even read a real manual besides a wiki page

What? Profiles won't save you from constant rolling release compiling.

Yeah, stay mad little faggot. And take your sad excuse for an operating system with you.
>install gentoo
Fucking lawl.

I use devuan as my daily driver, I'm just not too retarded to read a manual as archfaggots apparently are

>I was just giving you a secondary option
No, you were just whiteknighting a shit OS and getting blown the fuck out at every turn.
>since you seem to think compiling is the devil
Yeah, I have to manage my time compiling my own software. Ain't nobody got fucking time to waste compiling core GNU stuff, kernels, or any other such bullshit that I can easily get in binary form.
>Keep using arch you stupid mongrelized fuck
I will, you lying waste of life.
>"I-I b-b-bet you've never e-even..."
You're mad as fuck.

>I use devuan as my daily driver
Sure thing, champ. Post that riced desktop right now or you're lying.

>Yeah, I have to manage my time compiling my own software
LMAO faggot you just type yay --gib --softwares

See, on Arch it's
pacman -Gibsmedat
Looks like Gentoo is still useless trash.

that doesn't compile software you actual drooling retard

>Ain't nobody got fucking time to waste compiling bullshit that I can easily get in binary form.
then fucking get it in binary form, retard. you can use binaries on gentoo
>You're mad as fuck.
Nah I just hate arch faggots

Just the way I like it.

Yeah, after I compile them myself. You seeing the problem yet?

This but unironically

give one reason why one should fall for compiling all one's software meme

that's not even a big uptime but it's an ssh from my server. on windows atm
my devuan install on my laptop is completely xorg-less and taking screenies in framebuffer is a pain in the ass
stay blown the fuck out, zoomer

>>you can use binaries on gentoo
>Yeah, after I compile them myself. You seeing the problem yet?
did you know that you can use binaries that other people installed ? :o

>smaller memory footprint
>customization
>performance

any distro that is based on systemd is shit-tier

You wouldn't. Only a completely braindead retard would waste that kind of time.

>that's not even a big uptime but it's an ssh from my server
Sure thing, champ.
>my devuan install on my laptop is completely xorg-less and taking screenies in framebuffer is a pain in the ass
Sure thing, little buddy.
>did you know that you can use binaries that other people installed ? :o
I sure did. Now, if those binaries are being provided by anyone but Gentoo through an official repo, then I'm just not interested.
>on windows atm
Why am I not surprised?

isnt compiling from source available on every distro?

yeah but it's a pain in the ass to update software that you compiled by source unless you're using portage

Literally obsolete boomer distro

>I use devuan as my daily driver
Then why are you here spouting retarded memes and defending Gentoo? You don't even dogfood the system you shill?

>u mad
>n-no u mad!
lel

*crickets chirping*
Now we wait for yet another bullshit scrot.

>shill
I'm not even shilling, there are basically two different reasons one might want to use arch
>well maintained repos
debian is better in this regard
>high level of customizability
gentoo is better in this regard.
if you're using arch you are literally just gimping yourself for epeen

does it mean tou have to recompile every time a new version is pushed to repos?

>* ... *

[citation needed]

Gentoo is the ultimate basement dwelling OS. Prove me wrong. You can't.

So you really don't even use Gentoo, but you're here spewing about it like you're getting paid. What in the literal fuck is this? Anyway, about those official Gentoo binary repos? You guys have those yet?

Arch has always been a simple distribution in terms of the developer
perspective, not the user one. Using systemd made it simpler than ever
in that regard because much more work is taken care of by both the
systemd developers and all of the projects shipping unit files.

It has never been a minimalist distribution. Splitting packages is rare
compared to other distributions, and dependencies aren't made optional
whenever possible.

It has also never been a distribution offering much user freedom /
choice compared to Gentoo and even Debian. There are very few cases
where there are multiple packages offering different configurations of
the same project. There's no equivalent to update-alternatives or the
comparable uses of USE flags. Changing /bin/sh from Bash will be broken,
as will changing the python symlink to point to python2 instead of
python3 even though this works on some other distributions. It doesn't
strive to offer choices like this, and never has. It would mean a *lot*
more complexity on the development side of things along with major
deviations from upstream.

I'm not shilling for a specific distro, I am specifically shilling against arch linux. use (almost) literally anything besides arch.
fuck arch linux and fuck arch linux users

Hey, so about those official Gentoo binary repos? How are those coming along? Any progress?

use debian or cloveros if your hardware is too shit to compile
please think harder before you give me another (you). thanks

Agreed user, you can only ever have one or the other. No one's goals could ever be fulfilled by meeting somewhere in the middle.

My hardware is fine. I just don't give a fuck about wasting my time compiling my entire system. That shit's stupid.
>muh (You)s
But you're not trolling. You're just not successfully shilling any of the operating systems you keep jumping to in the hopes of winning an argument you had no chance in to begin with.

>if you're using arch you are literally just gimping yourself

devuan | void | crux

>My hardware is fine
then you should have no problems compiling. it doesn't take very long if you have modern hardware
>That shit's stupid.
Using arch is stupid
>shilling operating systems
I already said my goal is just to convince people to avoid arch, not to get them on gentoo or debian (although I do think these are the two best distros)

IBM is the new overlord.

>I already said my goal is just to convince people to avoid arch
No, your goal was to shill Gentoo. When that failed, it suddenly became about Devuan, Debian, and whatever else. That isn't going too well, either.

please see my original post in this thread if you're confused about my intent thanks.

>fuck arch linux users
You don't even know any. Your entire concept of an Arch user comes from trolls on Jow Forums.

Attached: 1540093439021.png (512x512, 51K)

Arch and Debian use the same one.

tfw the only active binhost for portage is a Jow Forums botnet

I do know one arch linux user in real life
He is a homosexual jewish javascript dev, no lie.

How did I know this was going to be the eventual answer to the repo question that faggot keeps avoiding? What a fucking shock.

There is literally nothing wrong with being Jewish.

>pic relate

I'd rather deal with that than anyone who uses Windows.

>this is your brain on arch linux
Linux is not a good desktop OS, you would know this if you used your computer for anything besides larp and shitposting, to quote an old friend of mine

GuixSD better of ya all brainlets. New offitial /g distro.

>Linux is not a good desktop OS
Nah, it's fine.

yeah maybe if the only thing you do with your computer is larp as a hacker and shitpost on taiwanese message boards
