Arch Hate General.
Share your woes and your pain with arch and its archtistic users
Don't really have any tbqh.
Arch users are the most knowledgeable people on this board and their wiki is undeniably great even for other distros.
>>54310951
what >>54310989 says. While I can't deny that some Arch users are some of the most full of themselves linux users you'll ever talk to, I had an Arch user consult their wiki for a problem I was having on Ubuntu. Turned out to be a problem with mount point syntax that I would have never caught.
Live and let live. If someone wishes to spend their time ricing out their desktop, that's on them.
Im flipping this thread around on OP.
Would the arch installation be any different installing on a VM vs installing on hardrive. I want to try before I switch over from ubuntu.
>>54310951
Kill self.
>>54310989
Can't make a conclusion from the board but I've seen some of the dumbest advice on the forums.
>>54311062
Yes. You may need drivers on your physical hardware.
>>54310951
Arch is awesome.
A bit of a pain to install.
The retard with the timesinkos.jpg in 3....2.....
>>54311251
Oh boy. The same images with the same filenames again.
Can you make some entertaining OC or something?
>>54311251
This literally never happens.
>>54310951
Honestly, I wanted to install it in a vm, but I couldn't even install x.org and a DE. My respects to the people who have the patience to dig through the documentation.
>>54311436
>but I couldn't even install x.org and a DE
But how?
It's very simple steps you just follow. It's not difficult at all man. It's like following a guide on building something
Arsch Linux broke my GTK themes and fontconfig multiple times over the last few weeks
>>54311436
Did you get a running system? If you got that far it's just pacman -S xorg and whatever DE you want.
The only thing you need to know about Arch Linux and .config files is on the the pacnew page of the Arch wiki.
>>54311562
GTK update broke a lot of things. Check if your theme has updated to 3.20.
>>54311317
this. expand on the hate so they can't just say

We should make ideas for a new arch comic
throw in something relevant so it can be used for a while at least and not just disregarded
my idea is through some weird accident, archfag gets a job, as in they think he was someone else, and over the course of a few hours he fucks up their server and business as hard as possible
>>54311436
I had the same problem. I couldn't install a DE because I couldn't find the right drivers in gnome boxes/virtual manager in Fedora and now i have to install virtual box and do it all over again.
>>54311445
>>54311607
>>54311715
Yeah, I got it running, and x.org and the DE was installed, but it just didn't start. Dropped some shitty error, no idea, looked it up for half an hour and then lost motivation.
>>54311251
Hello fatty. Are you really this pathetic that you have to keep creating the same threads over and over again?
Go back to your 10 burgers a day and Fedora.
>>54311018
>I use Arch
>I use Ubuntu
It truly is great to get the best of both worlds.
>>54311735
Guy who doesn't know cd from cp tries to install Arch Linux, gets mad, and spends the next 6 months posting the same arch hate thread on 4chan over and over again.
>>54311991
This is what all arch hate threads and posts are in a nutshell. It's fucking pathetic and sad.
>waste time installing arch when it should have been replaced by an installer like Architect
It was created by autists for autists because they're against progress.
>>54312068
Sure fatty.
>>54312068
chroot and repair or install/reinstall is something every linux user should learn. Not that arch-chroot actually teaches you that, but still...
Happened to me today:

Kill me.
Now I'm looking to configure the OOM killer so it won't ever happen again.
>>54312068
If this is really the only critique you have about it -- sure, whatever.
Installing the initial system is maybe 0.01% of the time you will be spending using the distro, so if that's the hurdle where you decide "no this is too complicated for me", then Arch isn't for you. I'll give you that.
However that initial "pain" (kek) is worth the package manager and the resulting system twenty times over imho.
>>54312086

Did you lose more than those 5kgs already? Or did you break the big 40 yet?
Making fun of arch users is fun but it's a damn fine distro. It's minimal and manual enough with being goddamn autistic like CRUX and stuff
>>54312189
>>54312190
I've lost 1.5 kg since the last Arch hate thread.
>>54312200
It is. There's just this fat retard who keeps making these threads. This guy right here:

Well at least you are admitting it.
2 burgers?
>>54312350
meh
>>54312335
Probably bacon and eggs.
>>54312402
These really aren't the foods you should eat to lose weight.
Get something low in fat, low in calories high in protein. These foods are very filling in general and will keep you satiated for a long time.
>>54312417
As long as I keep eating 1500 Calories per day, I will continue to lose weight. It doesn't matter what I eat.
>>54312149
>tfw after 3 years of using Arch this unironically happens to me
Familia how do I cope???
>>54312524
That's true -- but it's much harder to do when you fill up 60% of that quota or more with your breakfast bro.
>>54312526
What exactly happened.
>>54312526
Uninstall Arch and install Fedora Rawhide.
>>54312532
Lol you have no idea. 2 pieces of bacon and 2 eggs is less than 400 Calories.
>>54312553
That depends entirely on how you prepare them. And you didn't mention how many you would make. My point stands.

This happened to people running Fedora.
Arches 4.5.1 kernel is switching to I2s audio codec and it doesn't work with Dell xps 13. I know I need to compile the kernel with different parameters but I accidentally put a space in the folder directory and that fucked up everything and I'm too lazy to do it again
>>54312417
no. eat fruits and vegetables in abundance to keep filled. protein should be fit to how active you are and balanced when you are not
>>54312581
Why do you keep responding to bait you fucking autist?
>>54312604
that's dumb. Fruits will cause an insulin spike and make you hungry really quickly, they also DO have calories even though ITS MUH NATURE.
Vegetables okay. Protein is great to keep you sated, there's no basis for what you are saying.
>>54312120

Arch is easy to install, I'm sorry you are too stupid to do it, OP.
I don't even use arch anymore.
>>54312673
Because you keep having tamper tantrums because some other guy posts stale b8
Why do you keep replying and giving him attention and bumping this?
>>54312692
You just bumped when you replied to me in the first place.
Also, I want that obese unbreedable lump of body fat to stop mouth breathing
>>54312754
Same here.
>>54312566
>My point stands.
No it doesn't.
I was short on bacon this morning so I had to supplement with chocolate covered cookies. Damn were they good. All together it was 540 Calories, which is right on target.
>>54312581
No thanks brah. Now that I've had breakfast I am up for another day of bashing Arch.
Why use Arch anyway? You're just going to install a desktop environment and a browser. 100% of distros come with that out of the box. Desktops come with 1TB of storage or more now, so what the fuck is the point of a minimalist distro?
>>54312754
Because there's no point saging.
This thread is made EVERY DAY. And EVERY DAY you spergs take the b8.
I saw this thread when it was at 10 replies. I said "OK this is 100% going to be at 100+ in a few hours because morons will get b8ed".
I come to check on it later, sure enough. That's why I replied to you.
>>54312800
>so I had to supplement with chocolate covered cookies. Damn were they good.
My god, I give up. Just die after all.
>>54312800
What's the point of shitposting about it, why are you wasting your limited time?
A minimalist distro is nice because I know more or less what's on it and why it's on it -- at least more than I would with ubuntu. I also like the bleeding edge thing, with the newest update as quickly as possible. On Ubuntu/Debian and similar systems I would just painstakingly add pre-compiled untrusted upstream package channels, might as well go with Arch then.
>>54312800

That's not an argument and ignores all the points I made in my reply. Why even ask when you are just going to run away from a good discussion?
>>54312895
It doesn't. It addresses both points, which are both autistic anyway.
If you want to learn about Linux take a course on operating systems like I am doing right now.

Top Kek my friend :^)
>>54312914
Your replies bore me too much now. We both know you are being intellectually dishonest (at least I hope).
An operating systems course will tell you about how a GNU/Linux systems works as an architecture, not as a daily-driver.

You obese lump of pathetic half dried cum. The reason you posted ubuntu because you don't have the balls to tolerate anything against your distro (fedora, prajeet hat and wangblows 10).

>>54310951
Arch sucks a lot of the time(but isn't as much of a pain as Gentoo, and I've used both) There really isn't any reason to use arch.
>But muh bloat, I need a system with just the packages I need
Arch users are fat asses, so they need a small/thin system to give themselves the illusion they are thin.
>>54314139
Arch isn't even small, it is bloated as fuck
>>54314263
Ok fag, you waste your time with linux from scratch
>>54314296
I'm serious. Even ask the arch devs. When they say it is simple, they mean it is simple to develop it. They turn on everything and every option, it's the most bloated system there is

Truth. They don't even hide this. They say specifically that everything is built with extra shit and not minimal at all. They actually suggest Gentoo for a choice based distribution. Considering the install steps are the same but just a little longer due to compile time I went with Gentoo. Portage is pretty based desu senpai.

>>54310951
>your woes and pains with arch and its archistic users
None. Arch just werks right from the install, the community which uses arch was very nice and friendly, helped me answer all of my questions. I also get to see shitposters like you memeing about arch on a daily basis whenever I'm bored.
>>54315376
Because with Arch it generally takes about 30 seconds at most and with Gentoo it usually ends up with an error
>>54320080
>Arch just werks right from the install
No the wifi does not
I love arch. Have used it for years with no issues. I can do everything I want with my laptop. Easily. I also love it because of the shitstorm that hangs around it. I can just sit quietly. With my stable system. Laughing.
I don't get how arch users call themselves powerusers.
You won't be capable of doing anything when all you do is updating configurations and shit.
>>54312417
Steak and eggs, combined with black coffee and water, are great for working out.

>>54320219
I can see you don't know how updating works, I'll give you a hint. You update when you want to, it doesn't happen automatically.
Why hasn't arch been replaced yet? We don't need arch when you can just install it as easy as architect.
>>54320219
Thats exactly what defines a power user though.
Ive ran Arch on my computers for a couple years and its been more stable than any other distro ive used. Unlike babies first distro, there's no arch gui updater, when you want to update, you do it yourself
>>54310951
Using Antergos rite now.
pretty comfy + stable + muh bleeding edge
>>54320360
This will sound stupid but I was able to install Arch without GUI but couldn't figure out Antergos
>>54320383
Antergos installer is shit and pretty buggy
>>54320383
What do you mean "figure out"?
Installing without GUI is not necessarily harder just requires more time.
I use it mostly since it has a lot of """bloat""" that makes life easier.

If you know what you're doing, you can keep any system stable. The only thing I don't understand is why /g/ is so hung up on gentoo, when freebsd is basically a better gentoo?
>>54320435
/g/ knows literally nothing about computers or technology in a general sense. It's just 16 year olds who just installed linux in a VM and think they're an expert.

Come back to me when freelsd gets comparable hardware support and battery life to gentoo

I mean there's nothing wrong with gentoo, I just think it gets too much praise here. Also, this gentoo meme isn't even funny...

It's only nonfree in the same way Debian is. The user can choose to install nonfree or free packages. FSF endorsement is kind of bullshitty. You can enable nonfree repos with trisquel but somehow that gets the seal of approval.

There's enough shit threads on /g/ without your help.
If you can't install Arch, learn to computer or shut the fuck up.

Dunno about jails, but from what I hear ZFS is pretty bad on Linux still. Not that I use it...

next step: uninstall your OS, code a new one in assembly

Gnome is the most comfy de for multiple monitors. I use it since I like it and I don't come to 4kids for validation on what distro+DE I use

Yet you're posting your desktop in an Arch thread. Got it. Makes sense family

Because it has no buttons or icons so it doesn't have to wonder where to put them. And without maximize buttons it never has to wonder on which monitor to maximize your windows.
