I've been using arch for well over two years now and soo far it was an amazing experience. Why is this distro so universally hated in the community?

because it's garbage, like you.
Camden Carter
Because GNU/Linux is garbage on anything other than headless devices.
Jeremiah Powell
arch isnt hated anymore it's mostly leftover memes from a decade ago when arch was unstable as shit. these days arch is easy to use and commonly recommended.
Zachary Russell
did you ever have to """talk""" to these """people"""

Camden Rivera
It might be but what would you say about this guy ? It's easy to use just like any other distro it's just that you have to install everything yourself and the system isn't loaded with trash you don't need.
Jordan Ramirez
What kind of idiot blocks their monitor with their laptop?
Also arch is good in theory but the devs are incompetent when it comes to gpu support. I have a fucking 1050, by no means a super new card, and it doesn't work with nouveau or proprietary drivers on arch, and yet on Ubuntu it works totally fine when I install that same driver version.
Bentley Davis
No accually every issue I encounter was either on wiki or resolvesd earlier on forum...

1. The user-base are a bunch of elitist neck-beards who scare-off newbies on forums
2. It has a different package manager and retards can't Linux if they don't have an apt-get tutorial
3. It used to be bretty broken back in the days, but at least for the last 5 years it isn't anymore
4. AUR is a god sent for newcomers and lazy people in general since you don't have to find and compile shit by yourself but is a huge security flaw and a nightmare for Sysadmins
5. It doesn't come with a (decent) GUI installer and it scares most newbies
6. Rolling Release means you're heavy dependent on internet. So if your connection is slow or you don't have access to it than you're fucked
7. It doesn't have a default DE and thus makes people search for the best options for each usage
8. Using a specific older version of a given software can be problematic since it's focus on near bleeding-edge content
9. Some updates can actually fuck up the system, specially things related to Xorg or Wayland, and newbies don't know how to fix things without a GUI
10.Summarizing, it's a pretty good Distro for advanced users but the opposite of an Out-of-the-box solution for newcomers

I once spent 4 days without sleep installing arch/gentoo on the same thinkpad laptop + a bunch of other rice
I didnt sleep and only had a 2l bottle of water and a medium pizza + was high on adderall
Probably my darkest memory
Liam Morgan
The haters are mostly just too dumb to actually install it.
Samuel Cook
Tanner, is that you?
It's Mike, we need to hang some more.
Ian Gonzalez
no shiny installer and old memes die hard
Jace Butler
Calling the aur a "huge security flaw" is as dumb as saying that the ability to run external programs is a huge security flaw. The security flaw is the stupidity of humans, not the actual OS.
Lincoln Hernandez
I think he means for sysadmins. Human error is considered a security flaw, and arch makes it easy to happen.
Ayden Price
I use Arch. I love Arch, I make sure to tell everyone about Arch because it is the best OS.
Gabriel Garcia
Only retards dislike arch, its the best distro out there
Charles Torres
X doesnt break, load of horseshit
Caleb Martin
I like the Arch wiki, probably the best general purpose wiki for Desktop Linux subjects.
Levi Richardson
This user gets it
Nathaniel James
>related to Xorg or Wayland
I never said that X breaks, only that things RELATED to it can break meaning the system will boot on CLI mode
Learn to read faggot
Ayden Morris
What'll I get out of upgrading from Debian with i3? Faster Vulkan drivers?
John Carter
It isn't. Its vocal users are the scum of the earth though.
Just like any other distro that has users trying to proselytize
Lincoln Jenkins
> nightmare for sysadmins
implying anyone serious uses arch

>only reason to use it is the aur, which is full of broken and unmaintained packages and isn't monitored at all, most "packages" are just a bash script to download the package and it's install script from GitHub.
>aur is far worse than Open Build Service, which actually lets you package binaries and programs for multiple distros.
there's nothing it offers that makes it worth using over any other distros and it has the worst fucking user base.

Nope, I've tried Arch and it's shit. I use gentoo is my main OS. Gentoo is amazing. I can have multiple conflicting versions of packages, or 64 and 32 bit libraries at once. And it's all fine because the programs that depend on specific architectures or specific versions of programs are compiled from source, so portage just links them with the version it knows it depends on.
If you've ever had to deal with dependency issues with packages you'll know why this is awesome.
Also being able to manually include (or exclude) certain features from any package or your kernel is extremely useful. For example, I was able to simply remove the SSL heartbeat extension and recompile my packages when the heartbleed vuln came out.
Did I even mention Portage?
>Portage works without any external repo.
>Portage supports using llvm icc etc to build with.
>Portage supports distcc.
>Portage supports slotting of dependencies.(multiple versions of python, ruby, gtk etc)
>Portage supports multiple kernels BSD Fedora debian etc.
>Portage can thread package installs and downloads
Lincoln Evans
>If you've ever had to deal with dependency issues
cant say that I have, arch just werks and is the least maintenance heavy distro
Josiah Foster
Don't listen to satan. Arch is pretty based, after using it for more than four years I can't find alternative for it. I thought about Gentoo, but it feels too autistic. With AUR and ABS I stopped distro hopping.
I'd post proof but some fag tainted my IP and I can't be bothered to use VPN.
Ethan Cook
Oh no, they want logs. So scary. Don't be a retard and they 'll help you.
Nathan Hall
my friends on reddit beg to differ

Christopher Murphy
because it's DIY distro and Jow Forums want to be spoon fed
Henry Wilson
You have to go back.
Julian Walker
because i do more with my computer than looking at a neofetch
Joseph Hughes
you can install additional software with pacman user
