Nigga you better put Manjaro on that list

Whats better in Manjaro than Antergos? Tell me that and it will be in Bretty Gud tier
>>53908841
Manjaro has official support for community releases with their own WMs. i3, XFCE, LXQT, Awesome, you name it. As well they manage to filter out most of the bugs that arise from Arch's rolling packages, can't speak for how Antergos does it though.
>>53908884
Kinda kills the whole point of arch which is to be unstable and break every 5 seconds... The green theme looks cool though so they've got that
>>53908736
>not Slackware as a god tier
Arch is systemd shit and has no perks to make up for this other than being tedious to install and full of children. It should be in the garbage tier.

>Salty newfags are mad over Arch
has anyone noticed how anti-hobby /g/ has become? It seems like anyone shuns anything that's not a SERIOUS piece of software or OS used only for SERIOUS work. The very idea of using something that isn't 100% productive or useful for your job is trash. /g/ becomes more NO FUN ALLOWED every month.
>>53908977
I'm aware that it's possible to use openRC or Runit on Arch, but this creates a lot more package maintenance work for the user and they're still supporting a distro that doesn't support them.
There's no good reason to use Arch when you could be using Gentoo, Void or Slackware.
>>53909033

>>53909415
Antergos is a great first distro and once it's set up, its just as good as arch. Also it isn't bloated at all if you select minimal installation and you dont have to get your fstab and all that working manually.
I'm new to Linux, and am looking for a good distro / DE. I'm a bit paranoid about Ubuntu and privacy, so I'm leaning toward Mint with CInnamon. Does that sound like a good starting distro for me? Is Cinnamon a good DE or should I go with XFCE since it's lighter?
>>53910165
Go for one of the *buntus that has the DE you'd like to try. Xubuntu for XFCE is great. They all have the Amazon stuff taken out as far as I know. Mint has had some recent big fuckups in the security department.

>>53910202
Yeah I heard about that security breach. I was told that the Amazon crap is going to be opt-in in the future Ubuntu releases, and apparently it's confined to Unity. It still worries be though that Ubuntu is maintained by a privately owned compay.
>>53908736
Maybe I will try Parabola....does it have something akin to the AUR? If not, then it's a no go.
>>53910250
Arch 'hate' here was much more common years ago than it is now, which is, funnily enough, when Arch was better because their philosophy hadn't been ret-conned to accommodate drastic changes like sysd.
>>53910252
The other buntus are not managed by Canonical, they're community forks, I'm glad you feel that way though, users like that are good for GNU/Linux.
Mint is probably still fine, but they've lost a lot of good will as the go-to 'it just works' beginner distro.
>>53910285
Yes, it's called PCR (parabola community repository)
>>53908736
I didn't like funtoo. Too many packages are outright broken. Arch too.
Why do you like broken packages so much OP?

Personally, I've never had a problem with Manjaro, but the Antegros installer shit out on me like 5 times in a row
>>53910318
Ah thanks! I wasn't sure if Canonical had their hands all over the other forks. I'll probably try out Lubuntu and Xubuntu. For me, the lighter the better.

>>53908736
God tier should include debian stable (on the desktop).
It's pretty selective though. I like my packages stable.
I also like ease of use, which GNOME 3 does very well for me.
>>53911025
if you want stable packages why not just use nothing but the openBSD base system?
debian packages aren't stable, just old and lacking in bug reports, with a few backported patches that everyone else got ages ago because they weren't on debian.
old software is less likely to have a report for every bug because most users move on to the newer software, and newer software can be less likely to have bugs because not all bugs that are fixed are reported, just noticed by the dev before someone could discover the edge case that triggered them (see first sentence for why nobody ever will until it's too late). at that point, you're just hoping upstream kept the fix to its own clearly labeled commit instead of silently or accidentally fixing it so debian could eventually backport it.

I don't understand where the "Arch is broken" meme comes from, everything's been great so far. The only trouble I've had is with Steam, but that was just a matter of tracking down all the 32 bit graphics libraries.

Nice misinformation.
Canonical made Kubuntu's founder rage quit.
"Community made open source software needs people to be able to take out what they’ve put in. Ubuntu’s licences and policies enforce this. However for the last three years Ubuntu’s main sponsor Canonical has had a policy contrary to this and after much effort to try to rectify this it’s clear that isn’t going to happen. The Ubuntu leadership seems compliant with this so I find myself unable to continue helping a project that won’t obey its own community rules and I need to move on. I won’t be going far, I’ll be helping out in KDE more, the original and best end-user free software community who have always been wonderful."

There's no point in tweaking every icon, button, sound and color. It's pure autism. If you want something usable out of the box, use Windows, OS X, or Ubuntu.

There are a lot of reasons as soon as Debian came along and some others that Slackware became abandonware and basically a dying shell of its former self for the past 15 years. It's fucking trash. The people I've come across using it are the the most clueless fucktards I have ever had the misfortune of conversing with.
It's kind of ironic people started shilling Void as a counter to Archfags and now Voidfags are even more annoying. Now every distro thread is "haha you guys are still using Arch? Why don't you use the superior Void for real hackers like me!"

That's not Arch.
Slackware is pretty easy and has decent defaults and gets you a stable working system quickly.
Question of stability comes after I get my desktop configured and used. If something as important as rep management has to rely on unrecommended 3rd party hacks there's no point of using it
Cuckware is irrelevant, timesink, replaceable and an impractical distro
