>arch
>compile everything
zoomers are so fucking dumb

use BSD

installing from AUR with yay is way comfier tho

neck yourself and leave this board

Oh some stuff for zathura some other shit too i totally forgot its the fucking zathura module for pdf reading i am programming a script with dmenu

There is actually more stuff that arch has that ubuntu does not but i cannot remember

i had to compile i3-gaps from source too

ubuntu has outdated software but i have already spent hours ricing my system so i do not want to switch

What is make install?

>using an OS that essentially forces you to install from officially sanctioned repos

pathetic. linux users really are cucks.

100x this.

Nice bait.
Nobody forces you, really. You can setup any mirrors and/or alternative repositories in any distro, including Ubuntu.

no such thing as being forced to install from officially sanctioned repos.

it is just a lot comfier to just quickly install from official or community repos and know it'll stay updated along with everything else with a single action/command.

`yay -S anything`
this is the true comfyness of Arch.

wrong again, idiot.

Some applications your only option is to build from source because the only binaries/installers live in official repos that you can't download otherwise.

most packages are literally archives that can be easily installed manually. If it's in any repository, you can install it whenever you want. Or wait for someone to write a script that does this for you, see .deb packages in AUR (for example Chrome)

tar xvf thing
cd thing
./configure
make
make install
So hard

The thing I like most about Arch isn't how much shit is in the repos and the AUR, but mainly how easy it is to make your own packages from source.

>ubuntu
>ubuntu
it is fucking debian. Just find deb file and be done with it.
Yes arch has more if you include all those user repositories or some shait.

This x100

> wild autoconfig appears!

ppa? i use arch btw

>binary distro

I compiled your mom last night

>get your cute little boibutt fucked for running random scripts from the internet

Head on back to plebbit

stop using helpers

which inversely is why there is so much shit in the AUR

you do since you have to rely on the aur so much

megacmd
nano-syntax-highlighting-git
otf-neris
pcmciautils
sselp
trizen
ttf-aller
ttf-brill
ttf-heuristica
ttf-karatdemo-normal
ttf-league-gothic
ttf-oswald
ttf-quintessential
ttf-signika
ttf-symbola

no you don't

Now the package manager doesn’t know about it and removing it means manually going through every single file the install created, if you even find out where all of them are. Also no updates.

if it's a good software [like suckless' stuff] it will a remove written

>want to install thing
>’yay thing’
>select thing-git
>thing downloads straight from the developers git along with all the dependencies, compiles, creates a package and installs
Top comfy

Why don't the fag devs simply provide a appimage?

and now keep track of everything you did this to
yup, you really outsmarted us there anons

Mint user here.
Once I needed to install some video editing software.
Not in repo.
So I install directly from the devs website.
Turns out its so broken that no button actually works in it.
0/10 not even a program.
There is a reason some of these recreational GUI looking picture launchers are not in the repo.

in other news I have youtube-dl installed directly and use the devs updater(youtube-dl -U) because YT changes lots of stuff and will break the program.
Not a problem there. No need to jump to different distro.

this is the kind of bullying i have trouble with debian or more likely their users using a server distro for desktop

What?
What are you talking about?

>Turns out its so broken that no button actually works in it.
>doesn't occur to him he maybe you did it wrong

it's not the dev's job to distribute his software
it's your distribution's; what's the point of even having a pkg manager if you always end up going to a blog post copy/pasting or going to a website for a .deb

Because manager are slavery and me not having installers is a crime.

sudo make uninstall
sudo make clean

noob

I'm pretty certain I did it right.
There is shit loads of pre pre pre pre alpha software out there.

appimages are retarded

>sudo

>try some pre pre pre pre alpha software
>be surprised it's not ready

there's a difference between not having release and alpha versions in your repositories

The software was so crap and pre-pre-pre alpha that there was no point in having it there.
>>try some pre pre pre pre alpha software
Only the devs tell lies and say its "alpha" the only reason for this is to troll people and repositories.

if its in the aur there is a properly maintained gentoo package

You think my boibutt is cute?

Use a packaging utility like mock, brainlets

Installing arch is a breeze but installing all the other packages etc is so tedious and tiresome

wow they have improved their site
very nice

what?
