It's true that the rolling release model can sometimes cause problems, but it's really nothing even an average user can't deal with. While it doesn't fully deserve its popularity, its flaws are greatly exaggerated on this board.
BUT ENOUGH ABOUT WINDOWS
Xavier Robinson
Is Manjaro better?

>While it doesn't fully deserve its popularity
I think it does. Once you get around to actually using Arch, you don't really want to go to any other distro.
Jackson Jackson
People are still stuck 10 years ago regarding arch. They think arch just breaks for no reason. The xorg memes don't apply to arch, at all. If anything if you need a rolling release distro that is simple to use and maintain, arch is the best choice.
t. debian and arch user.
Jaxon Flores
Thanks OP for making the same thread again.
Matthew Evans
3.6 breakages per day
Levi Miller
user, the kernel is gone! It exploded!
Grayson Nelson
Is Debian Sid better? Any experiences with it?
Hunter Johnson
>no benefits of arch

Yeah, hard pass.
Josiah Reed
NixOS is a better minimalist distro desu
Juan Howard

Sid's policy on both stability and security is "you're on your own buddo"

I've definitely run into more random bugs on Arch than I ever did on Debian. How any distro with a rolling-release model and a reluctance to carry any patches on what comes from upstream could be different though I'm not sure.
Jackson Ward
I tried both Arch and Debian, and neither crashed.
Brody Jenkins
YOU DIDN'T!
Connor Flores
ENOUGH!
Zachary White
Ubuntu is better
Angel Green
Get to the infirmary, you're delusional
Adrian Carter
We can always roll back... right, comrade? Right?!
Evan Martinez
running arch now for a year and its pretty comfy. AUR is pretty cool. Could I do the same with every other distro pretty sure, but again Arch it is now.
Jeremiah Edwards
don't use manjaro unless either A) you wanna toy with it or B) you have a specific need for it. Mint or Ubuntu just-werk. You're going to be running into issues with manjaro
Juan Howard
Arch is all right, they really need to fix their retarded tryhard installation process. Which gives you Manjaro, I recommended this to my Israeli friend and he likes it better than the Debian he was running (because newer packages).
Sure you might run into issues with things breaking because of the rolling release model, but them's the breaks of running an unstable distribution.
Personally I prefer Fedora, although I tend to distrohop a lot. Ubuntu is fine too.
Ayden Green
are you sure about that or have you been fed the propaganda numbers?
Dylan Rivera
So uh if arch isn't great then what distro would be?
Please no gentoo
Thomas Price
install tumbleweed and never worry about updates again
you can update after a year and it will work the same
if something breaks you can restore a snapshot in minutes
Noah Parker
>rpm-based distros
Yikes!
Leo Diaz
perfect title OP this is my impression of arch
Dominic Thompson
If you want an easy Arch installer and some basic applications preinstalled, go with Antergos. It may be discontinued now but that doesn't matter too much as it uses the normal Arch repositories anyways. In fact I just installed it on another PC a few days ago.
I ran into several problems over the past months due to Manjaro's own repos, but it doesn't deserve all the shit it gets here on Jow Forums
