I told him that Arch is even more hipster than OSX, after that he shut up.

>KISS for devs
nice they won't patch programs. I want the developer version, not the os distribution version
>packages are large
of course they contain everything, I don't have to dl a stupid -dev package to use something. ANd by the way if the initial dev didn't split his own package, you should complain to initial dev.
>partial upgrade not supported
You don't want to upgrade everything, go back to debian
>no policies
There is one, arch dev won't patch packages, don't maintain packages, they're just builder. I'm ok with that, they don't fiddle everything like those debian maintainers who introduced a security issue in ssh
>small repo
It's OK for me, it contains all I need

because others ain't. You make my day kiddo.

of course you must be up to date. But there is Debian if you want to live in the past.

Try to do a full dist-upgrade with a non updated Debian, I want to laugh.

selinux is the incorrect solution to a real problem

I'm Ok with that. I like my distribution like my women. Wild.

Arch has never been a minimalist distribution. Splitting packages is rare compared to other distributions, and dependencies aren't made optional whenever possible. Arch has *never* been minimalist... a Linux kernel with every module available and every feature enabled at least when there's no non-bloat related cost, feature-packed/complex GNU tools, nearly all optional features enabled across all the packages, etc.
>pacman is fast but not safe, it tends to break shit and config protection is implemented in a terrible way
>there is no official process to verify that a package is stable within the distro, in other distros a lot of packages are in a testing repo despite that specific package's developer claiming it to be stable on its own, because it might not be stable within the environment of a specific distro
>a lot of AUR packages pull from upstream, which means they could be very unstable
>(arch vs gentoo related) arch users complain about muh compile time when it comes to gentoo, while in fact they compile a lot of AUR packages themselves, namely the *-git packages that pull the source from a git repo
>but it gets even better: they only compile a handful of packages, and those not being libraries mostly, the self-compiled packages get linked against precompiled libraries from a different setup (e.g. different optimization levels), which can then cause even more instability because it's a clusterfuck of unequal shit

Also recommending Mint as an alternative to Arch is retarded as well.

Because Debian is no more the leader.

imagine being this much of a butthurt retard to pour the arch wiki and make this. And they're saying that arch users don't have a job or a life? I guarantee that whoever pulled that out of their ass has at least three chins.

Gentoofag here. You really don't learn anything by running 2 helper scripts, especially when the install is geared towards copypasting and doesn't really explain what the commands do.

Does the "pacman fucked up my xorg" meme ever actually happen? I've been using Arch for like 3 years now and that's not happened to me once.

I use Arch.

Most archfags compile.

but hes actually completely right? Arch isn't actually hard to install, the guide on the wiki makes it really simple if you can read

And only to post progress reports on projects I'm working on and look at others for inspiration as well as ask questions.
Jow Forums is probably around the ~3rd best place on the internet for asking general questions about tech.
/diy/ and /lit/ and /ck/ are also surprisingly helpful
Connor Cooper
Yes, the absolute minimal base install is easy because you essentially just let pacstrap do it. Setting up an actually usable config is where people fail.
Lucas King
or you could literally use the based distro
i need my computer to work but i also like aur so i have the best of both worlds
Colton Nelson
>sudo pacman -S (whatever de you want)

its not really that hard, the hard part is actually choosing what you want and planning ahead
Ethan Sanchez
unironically arch is more stable than memejaro, if you want a distro that just works but also want AUR install Antergos
Alexander Taylor
That screenshot is outdated, shit quality but way more options in this one.
Anthony Johnson
How would an absolute linux beginner know about DEs or login managers? The arch wiki isn't helping them much since it doesn't actually explain most things in non-technical terms.
Carter Wood
>Jow Forums is probably around the ~3rd best place on the internet for asking general questions about tech.

Arch was the first linux distro I tried using.
It teaches you shit the fastest due to it being well documented compared to most other distros and having you work with the terminal from the get go.
Ubuntu might be the only distro with more beginner friendly info.
Arch's wiki is extremely useful even for other distros, practically everything I ever wanted to install already had a guide in there.
Arch also has forums where lots of things have been asked before me.
Evan Jackson
Most arch reddit posts are "cant boot". Fucking kek
Landon Rodriguez
That's why you don't start with arch, but desu i can't really see why arch still doesn't offer a gui or tui installer. They still can keep it "minimal"
debian can do it, void can do it. It's almost like arch wants to keep some kind of status

Or just use AUI or Artix

Gotta love this distro as well. Cinnamon is a darned good DE with sane configs that work. Arch breaks the second you turn it on
Juan Hall
>things look good and don't break
>Manjaro
Manjaro broke more often for me than Arch did
>arch wiki commands just paste in
and this is what caused this.
just like you can have a FrankenDebian you can have a FrankenArch.
If you want AUR, if you want the latest software and if you want to be able to fix and downgrade easily incase something breaks, just get Arch
I'm still thankful for Manjaro existing though, because it pointed me in the right direction
Luis Robinson
>muh ganoo/laxative
Thank god Windows exists
Henry Powell
while you are too fucking dumb even to grasp why he does it
Ryan Clark
What's wrong with its config protection? Also, doesn't Arch have a testing repo?
Michael Ward

Clearly it's because he wants to learn linux. Clearly.

Manjaro has broke for me only twice and I had to fix the kernel both times by booting to a live cd and chrooting.
Fun each time that happens.
And no, it wasn't my fault.

it's just the default for the Terminus terminal emulator running on Windows.
