Its stuff like this that stops gnu/linux being widely adopted. I tried to fix half this stuff but theres so much work needed its ridiculous. Stuff just simply breaks too easily and theres too much splitting and branching in the community. I mean that's not to say there hasn't been positive things to the experience, it's just shit like this seems like it should be pretty standard Has anyone ever had a long lasting experience where nothing broke? Because on every distro I've used something gone wrong

oh dont get me wrong, I could do a similar write up on Debian, Fedora, Mint and Ubuntu.
Aaron Turner
Then do it.
Robert Powell
Out if that list you only have two real distros, don't blame everyone else for your lack of education. I don't have these problems on Debian or fedora.
Caleb Moore
You know it's that sort of attitude that holds G/L back.
Nolan Richardson
Octopi is fuckin shit. Shiiiiiit!
Eli Clark
>plugins that only work on certain versions of a program, so several file explorers are needed Can you be more specific?
Hunter Perry
Is it 2010 again?
Cameron Rivera
No, otherwise it would be more obviously user error.

Like says, Manjaro is the problem. Hear me out on this one before you flip out. Manjaro is run by incompetent twits who claim to know better than the people who build Arch. So,they hold back packages and do whatever secretive crap it is they do in the name of stability. This in itself should be the selling point for Manjaro, right? But no, they blow that all away with their haphazardly put together desktop varieties that barely fucking function properly. You want "stable" Arch? Install Antergos or Anarchy, or use any of the other installers, and use the LTS kernel. But, I'll tell you right now, Arch is just as stable as any other distro, regardless of the memes the mongoloids on this board perpetuate.

I could feel my face turning red when I read this. I use Octopi on Arch because I hate looking for packages on their web page and Octopi has the added bonus of showing where all of a packages files are installed. I know it's considered a sin, but it's not completely worthless.
Adam Cruz
They don't do shit in the name of stability, they just hold packages a week by default and then check for bug reports to decide whether or not to push the update or hold it longer. This also literally breaks Packages every time they push updates that expect updates to dependencies that are still held, which is why Manjaro is far buggier than standard Arch.
Nathaniel Russell
>They don't do shit in the name of stability I know they don't, they claim to though, and if it were true, they could sell the distro based solely on that feature alone. Alas, it's only true selling point are the eye candy desktop variations that lure unsuspecting noobs to their demise. I do believe that Manjaro has a base installer, but I wouldn't use it based entirely on principle.

Hunter King
Oh look it's freetard damage control at full force again. inb4: >you're too dumb >the specific distro you are using is shit >he doesn't use X >go back to macos >obscure distro X doesn't have this problem I love how for some reason it's never Linux' fault. Don't get me wrong I'm a Ganoo+Loonix user myself but you guys are just retarded
Given all of the variables involved, every one of those points you listed are valid arguments. Granted they may not be correct in every instance, but people tend to form their opinions on experience, and you can't fault them for that. That being said, Linux is extremely fragmented, and need to get it's shit together.
we should make a new distro that aims to address these issues

Caleb Reed
Excellent idea! I'll make the logo!
Gabriel Martin
I hate to say it but I think the fragmentation and glitchy nature of Linux comes from it not being proprietary or profit driven in a classical way. I mean how does Canonical even make money with Ubuntu? All run just by donations? Same goes for any other distro besides Redhat. There is just no "Linux inc." with 2000 people working and testing the system. Testers are usually people using a rolling release. If there is any disagreement, people just leave and fork it further. A great recent example is how the community is being split into more and more bits is the widespread use of systemd.
>These are the issues I have with GNU/Linux >>use manjaro stopped reading there lol
Eli Hughes
There's also no people at Microsoft testing Windows these days. Its tested by users in the beta program.
Ethan Martin
Kill yourself you retarded nigger.

Sounds like your beef is really with autistic Desktop Environments, not Linux. >>now for some reason hdds stop mounting properly Edit your fstab. >>baloo_file needs to be killed on boot or it will grow indefinately until the system hangs Manjaro problem. >>audio on monitor doesnt work, in order for headset to work i need to i need to unplug and replug it Change your sound output manually. >>tried to install some stuff from octopi but "partial upgrades arent supported" so i cant Using Octopi, kek'd >>kernel update took 3 hours and didnt fix it Manjaro problem. Kernel update on Fedora takes three minutes, tops. >>even will force full composite pipeline and mantually set refresh rate i still get screen tearing This is your DE, not ''''''Linux''''''. Lemme guess KDE? >>menu started resizing itself Again, your DE. >>no easy floating on screen keyboard The fuck? >>dark theme doesnt work properly because it makes some text unreadable Again your DE. Still sounds like KDE. >>several themes split between kde, gnome, etc so ui isnt consistent UI isn't supposed to be consistent, it's supposed to be configurable. Oh, and again...DE, not '''''Linux'''''. >>plugins that only work on certain versions of a program, so several file explorers are needed (no agreed upon standards) Good point, but again, you're talking about the DEs. Linux doesn't have a GUI.
It's because Linux is at it's best on a headless server with no Desktop Environment installed. Only autists on Jow Forums use it as a fucking desktop computer.

Linked libraries was a mistake. It's the root of 95% of all pronlems with gnu/linux. I'll still use it tough since it's a million times better than sucking MS dick or gobbling thousands of apple cock.
