Hold on, are you trying to do version control with your distro package manager?

How am I supposed to read it as I do it then? I'll forget when I exit. It might just be easier to chroot into it on a ubuntu live usb so I can have a gui and copy and paste to install arch.

Ideally you'd use another terminal.

Or you could use a distro that actually gives a fuck and has a proper installer because this isn't 1987 anymore.

I mean you're going to be connected to the internet anyway, so just install the tmux package. You do know how to use multiple terminals, right?

Just use Manjaro, it's based on Arch.

miss me with that guiay shit

sometimes i go for months without doing an upgrade and when i do it all goes fine, the advisory mails from Arch usually don't affect me.
The only problem is that sometimes i have to switch aur manager because the older one goes unmaintained but even then i have an org mode will all the instructions to do proper install and maintanance

What's vi? Also why would I want more or less than needed to see how to install arch?
Okay I installed vi and nano but I don't see them in my start search menu

Of course on a distro that doesn't shit itself you can just stop after
>install once

alt+[f1]-[fx]
nano / vi for text files
link for webpages

Is that why Manjaro waits a week then? It's literally stable Arch.

No, even like this:
>read arch wiki, writing your own custom install script as you go, deeply researching everything on your path
>download Arch
>run your script
>everything runs flawlessly

Just use Manjaro then desu, it waits just a little longer so you can be confident that it's as stable as Debian

What if you buy a new laptop?

I just wanna say user, you are so fucking funny, you should aim to be a jester as a career because that's how funny you are.

I use wifi so I can't be connected out of the box anyway how do i connect? I don't see a network icon in the arch iso

This made my screen a giant terminal what did you make me do how do i fix this

> piping when you can use less directly
You can use grep directly too. I would recommend to use pipe when you have to read from stdout.

rsync

That doesn't fix my problem though, that's more like putting a bandaid on a broken bone. I need to connect to wifi.

Will it actually work on a real hardware? There should be a shit ton of configs with autogenerated hardcoded GUIDs and stuff, unless you're on livecd.

Just use Manjaro, it's Arch and it's stable (packages have a week to prove themselves, that's plenty of time) and it has wi-fi drivers.

Just load Ubuntu LiveCD and install Arch from there.

I want to use arch though, Manjaro has had security risks in the past. Why can't the arch devs just make an easy iso so we can use their distro easier?

How?

Sorry but I'm straight

a sinking ship, long time users are starting to realize the devs are lazy fucks and that the distro is a broken mess

They had an advanced setup tool once but they removed it.

Hahahahah.

No.

See you tomorrow, faggot.

I installed Manjaro on my ThinkPad and fucking hated it.

And that's when I reinstalled Xubuntu

Fuck Manjaro. If you're going to make a "just wurks" distro, make it actually work

Installed Manjaro on a Dell latitude e6400. Shit was buggy, internet didn't work half the time. Manjaro is garbage.

What a great distro!

Sorry for being efficient?

The ONLY time I've had Arch break is when I'm fucking around with stuff, never from updates.

this isn't 1987 anymore gramps, I should be able to use my mouse and GPU that I paid for to install the OS instead of some ancient mainframe terminal shit

That's stupid

You wanna know how I know you don't use Arch?

>be retarded

program is written, not clicked

If you included an install script with arch that functioned basically like an Ubuntu live image but CLI Jow Forums would immediately make a fork without it.

>not usong sudo
it's like you like being fucked in the ass

>click install
>it just works

I didn't have to write anything.

No joke, I installed Arch Linux from my USB stick just 7 minutes ago

* AND BOY DO I REGRET IT NOW *
(great, now choosing a distro is a problem again, here we go..)

Oh wow you got me xDDD #dab

Maybe you're just a retard? I've been using it for 3 years and I don't run into all these problems everyone else has for some reason.

>What's vi? Also why would I want more or less than needed to see how to install arch?
raged a bit.
here's your (you)

Aren't you supposed to load the iso on a virtual machine then install it on the hard drive from there?

you mean double click and clicking next until you die?

That's one way to do it but no. You can just put the ISO on a flash drive or CD and boot it with network attached, just like Debian netinst. It will just grab all the packages as you install as netinst does.

Stop lying

>3.7 isn't the latest stable version
And anons think gentoo's a good distro.

whoosh!

What was the "retarded screen issue"?

Gentoo and arch both suffer from being hobbies not just for the users but for the maintaners. They are so far up their own ass that they don't even properly maintain their own distro, they just write essays about the unix philosophy and freedumb on the internet. Gentoo doesn't bother updating anything in their repo, and arch just blindly updates fucking everything.

This right here is the bait of a master

I also thought he was a masterbator

get off my fucking board

What's wrong with Manjaro?

It's shit.

>Oh and let's not forget the fact that the whole thing is a security nightmare.
What are you talking about. Arch has the latest packages. The only difference between a security bug and a normal bug is that someone has discovered how to exploit the other. You remember that when you brattle on about the "stable" old ass package meme.
