I used to hate Ubuntu and thought Arch was the shit until I actually used it and fell in love with it.
I used to think android phones were stupid until a cousin of mine showed me he could torrent on his android phone and use it as a flash drive. He also had a 64GB microsd card on it which I thought was really fucking cool at the time.

Immediately fucked back to Arch.
Holy shit the AUR is fucking godly.

This problem is not figmentary, I have heard anecdote someone in college has not compiled a program. Whoever is in charge in high schools is not making sure students are exposed to compilers, they just assume nerds will magnitate to it and if there is a mismatch where the aspiring computer geek does not magnitate on their introverted own nobody cares.
I use GNOME3
I shitpost about Arch breaking every update, even though I have never used it.

I barely know how to use linux and am awful with computers yet somehow manage to run game servers by remote managing ubuntu installations running unity with teamviewer. Thank goodness my job has nothing to do with this shit.

>>54003015
Confusing, the term "the shit" is often used in a positive sense like as sex and robbery Are the shit and attending a sensitivity raising conference is not "the shit."
You need to add a qualifier like 'the awful shit' to construct an unambiguous negative.

"the shit" is always positive and OPs sentence is very clear in that regard anyway.

Maybe that is the reason why 'the shit' has a connotation that it's position is positive.

I've been using Arch for a year on two separate systems and the only time it ever broke was due to a wpa_supplicant upgrade not supporting my wireless card. I just downgraded and in about a day it was patched.
The 'Arch breaks everything' meme is dated as fuck.
I'm almost exclusively on Windows and will be for the foreseeable future, I just got bored using GNU/Linux for so long.
Maybe when Mint 18 lands I'll switch back, but if Cinnamon's compositing is still as slow as ever and I can run KDE with a wayland session, with proprietary nvidia drivers, fuck it I'm switching to Kubuntu.

Its still unstable by definition of its rolling release nature. Whether or not your system breaks.
The "it takes an arch user 2 hours to do something a Xubuntu user can do in 5 minutes" meme is true however
I genuinely love Windows 10

>t takes an arch user 2 hours to do something a Xubuntu user can do in 5 minutes" meme is true however

So you're basically admitting there's nothing wrong with it then.
>The "it takes an arch user 2 hours to do something a Xubuntu user can do in 5 minutes" meme is true however
Last I checked Xubuntu is just ubuntu with XFCE on top, aka GNU/Linux. Please explain how something is more complicated on a GNU/Linux distro than it is on a GNU/Linux distro.

the direct problem here is that while it is true and you can just install the package and be done with it forever, the infinite cop out that an arch turd will say is "well the whole thing runs faster because of the way I've done it". Seen this used in response for phoronix bench test results from all the distros and arch was within 2% of ubuntu.
>But they didn't go far enough, you have to set it all up in my way and then it will be faster for sure! Don't ask me for personal test results though

What I was saying you can still do now is to say you "notice a difference" on your arch system to validate this wasted time.

It's not as if Arch users have anything productive they could be doing with their time instead of whiteknighting their broken distro on the Internet.

I love unity and hate the shit out of aptitude.
I loved using Ubuntu with unity and the fact that
it was care free to setup was nice. If it had
pacman and the AUR id switch in a heartbeat
>>54004448
Arch with unity?
my startup is a hoax
>>54003972
Overall package installation is faster, both technically and for he user. Users don't have to add a repo for one, which makes the setup faster. Secondly pacman takes care of dependencies and shows minimal output, so its still slightly faster than aptitude.
>>54004448
You can just install unity on any other distro

I keep trying to get into tiling wms but always end up going back to openbox or xfce after a few weeks because I can't be arsed to learn all 9001 short cuts.
I've been trying to switch away from arch for over a year now but always come back because while it's a time sink OS, AUR probably saves me more time than configuring everything consumes.
I've learned python, java, php, ruby and C++ and have forgotten almost all of it because I don't actually code anything because everything either already exists (and is better than what i could make) or is vastly out of my scope.
I am autistic about security and privacy, but turn all my plugins, filters, features, etc off the moment it fucks with me while drunk and/or masturbating.
>>54003111
You know I thought the same thing but with iPhones, and because of a bunch of apps. I ended up getting a twenty dollar one just to play around with.
I hate all linux distros and just using the command line gives me a stomach ache and a headache.
I don't even know why at this point. It's just too overwhelming or something. I know how to use it, but I HATE IT! I just do my shit quick and return to windows and feel good again.
How did you fall in love with your linux distro?

I took a ccna program at my local college. Took two years to finish due to class structure. Just finished my last semester back in December 2015 and haven't taken my ccna cert exam because I forgot half the stuff I learned during the first two semesters.
The program took so long, multi instructors who taught the course differently, and none of them merged in topics we learned previously into the new topics to to help us retain what we already learned.
i feel as I wasted two years of my life. I should of just purchased the materials myself and learned at home with packet tracer in a few months instead of two years. That way you he knowledge would of still be fresh in my mind.
Now I've all given up on the ccna. I picked up myself a rhcsa/rhce by jang to study for the rhcsa exam. I already use Linux on a daily basis so learning this is a breeze for me.
>>54003244
Seriously though, AUR is that good. And Ubuntu Unity looks preddy sweet in 16.04.
>>54004647
oh I remember dealing with all those problems. Took me a good 2-3 hours to finally understand what the fuck was going on with installing shit like nvidia drivers (Recently I had to fucking disable ubuntu's unity/light/whatever shit just to install the nvidia driver) which wasn't just a simple run on an executable file or even in the command line which is supposed to be the selling point of it.
Also fuck GRUB2. Only thing I'm glad is that ubuntu works in an external hard drive, it's actually very practical having all my configurations and games on the go, runnable in any computer.

need to up my game to be honest familiar
I was a die hard AMD fan. Had an fx-9370 and dual r9 390s. Sold the 2nd 390 as I was barely using xfire, and gave the other one to a buddy as a gift. After breaking my 2nd motherboard because they couldn't handle the fx-9370 @ 5.2ghz, I bought a 4690k swearing I'd only get it for temporary use.
I love the 980ti classy I have now. Shadowplay is unparalleled as a recorder, and my 4690k is buzzing along at 4.6ghz and shit stomps my 9370 in everything I do while running cooler, quieter, on a cheaper motherboard.
I was in denial. There is always Zen I guess. Hoping they swing me back to team red.
