You have a problem with veganism?
I’ve used all these distros and I’ve never contributed shit lol. Love that shirt though… Is the v supposed to be like the vim logo? Or maybe upside down arch.
I need this
Personally I’ve had more issues tweaking Debian to just work as needed then Arch
Agreed. Try to setup newer nvidia drivers, a newer kernel and it is the furthest from stable as any distro ever was.
Debian is the only distro in my recent memory that crashed into an unbootable state right after a default installation.
Manual Arch installation is tedious and unnecessary if you’ve done it once, and the automated archinstall fails too often. Other than that, I’ve had literally zero issues with it.
Also, this whole meme misses out on the whole fun factor of getting everything setup exactly how you want and all the learning along the way. The Arch user is way more likely to fix any issues that come up in the future rather than just nuking the install and starting over Windows-style like this meme suggests.
Arch user rage bait and I guess I fell for it. I use arch btw.
If you actually want to use your machine, keeping the machine from nuking itself shouldn’t be a hobby on its own. I need a reliable platform to work on, not a minefield on a fault line.
Don’t know what you’ve been using but I sure wouldn’t describe Arch as any of that. Once things are setup, I’ve extremely rarely run into issues that I didn’t cause myself.
“That I didn’t cause myself” is basically self-gaslighting. Using a system in exactly the way it’s supposed to be used shouldn’t cause any issues. Regular updates shouldn’t cause issues. Sure, it can happen, but it shouldn’t be the norm.
Recognizing your own mistakes is self-gaslighting now? FFS. And making a mistake sure is not “using a system in exactly the way it’s supposed to be used.”
Sometimes we make mistakes, it’s okay. If I wanted my OS to coddle me I wouldn’t be using Linux.
Doing an update is not a mistake.
Again, this is exactly how the system is supposed to be used. You run whatever the update command is on your system occasionally. If that regularly breaks your system, the OS is not a stable platform. That might have its reasons, but it doesn’t change the facts.
It’s not a fact that updates regularly break the system. I’ve been using Arch for like 20 years now and I can count the amount of times that’s happened to me on one hand. I can do the same for CentOS and other distros as well.
It also wasn’t what I was referring to when I said I broke my shit by a mistake so you’re sticking words in my mouth.
Then you either have very large hands or don’t update that much. When I did use Arch for a while, Pacman often enough broke some stuff.
It also wasn’t what I was referring to when I said I broke my shit by a mistake so you’re sticking words in my mouth.
No, I interpret your words in a way appropriate here. You said, that only mistakes cause errors, I said that updates caused errors, and that I don’t think updates count as mistakes. So either you think that updating is a mistake, or we have fundamentally different experiences using Arch. I’m only sticking the shit in your mouth that you left their in the first place.
If you know what your doing you can install arch faster than debian or fedora
But you don’t. And neither do 99.99% of users.
This is why I made my own install script for arch that gets me fully up and running with working hibernation and other tweaks. It might not take 5 minutes to install but I only have to press a few buttons and let it run
That sounds like duct-tape-Nixos with extra steps.
I can only laugh at the comics they need to make to justify their distros. I use my Arch machine for work and it works far better than when I was using Debian. Also I am not putting up with an ancient kernel and Nvidia drivers. I even have to setup pipewire manually on debian and on Fedora it’s codecs. Both ridiculous.
Enuf with the Arch hate already…
Fedora and Debian are cool,
but Arch is too,
their Wiki is amazing and so is the AUR.And no I don’t use Arch btw,
I use Manjaro,
which has suited me fine for years now.Sad that this is neither a haiku nor a poem. But I still agree.
10 minutes, that’s what i need to install my arch system
Exactly. And the archinstall script makes it almost as easy as Ubuntu. I think this comic is obsolete.
I don’t recommend using an install script, what’s the point of using vanilla arch then ?
