arch doesn't use xorg.conf

It just is, Kaspar.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It just is.
>>54394370
pacman doesn't break xorg.conf, or any .conf files for that matter.

Memes aside, I use Ubuntu but I miss using Arch for the AUR. I switched because I was sick of having to fix shit after every other update. If there were "stable" Arch repos I'd probably switch back.

I've been using the exact same installation of arch for years and it's never broken
you're either lying or completely retarded
>>54394373
I feel liberated after switch from Ubuntu
Because it allows you to set up your system EXACTLY the way you like, and doesn't cuckold you like Ubuntu and spawn.
>>54394960
This is the exact same way I felt.
Old Arch linux user here, Ubuntu is far more comfy and all of you sooner or later will come back.
>>54395007
But Ubuntu is already set up the way I like, including the best DE available by far, Unity.
>>54395052
Where is your handler??
On the tech subreddit of a chinese cartoon image board where 80% of threads are started by obvious windows shills, it would only follow that aforementioned windows shills would talk shit about Arch, the best linux distro, and recommend and heap praise upon ubuntu, the shittiest linux distro.

hi Jordan
>>54394332
Why are you using so much RAM?
>>54395271
unused RAM is wasted RAM
>>54395282
Yeah, yeah, I know but that's not an explanation.
>>54395313
Maybe allocated to APU graphics(?)
Because you managed to get a brief moment of respite before it breaks again
I love Windows XP and think its the comfiest OS ever but I'm not gonna go back to it. It's too unstable and risky now.
What I'd do to figure out how to make 7 look like it though...
Tldr: Install Debian faggot
It filters the sub 100 IQ people away with it's installer
Waiting for the you's of people I triggered now, come on show me how easy you're to bait lel

The only reason I was using Ubuntu in the first place was because they were the only distribution that managed to boot into X11 instead of just crashing back in 2004. It was a bit rough coming in as a beginner, fresh off the boat after using Windows from 95 up to XP, and trying to figure out why the display drivers weren't working. It wasn't like much of my DOS experience from before that could help much either.
These days, though? No matter what hardware you've got every distro will start up in a workable state without having to fiddle around first, and Debian based distros are shit on anything not a server. Even there it's outclassed by Red Hat, really. Fuck that mess.

You're an idiot. How is this /g/'s fault?
>>54396190
No other online community masks troll attempts as genuine advice so collectively as places like this board. Other places moderators care about their users
>>54396225
Are you implying Arch is a troll attempt? Gentoo is a troll tempt, because it's a complete time sink but Arch is a pretty good distribution.
Again, you are stupid and there's nothing we can do about it.
>>54396152

It's not our fault you were too stupid to install Arch. I'm pretty sure even a down syndrome kid could, it's literally just following simple instructions. I've been using Arch for years and it's never once broken my xorg.conf, or anything else.
>>54394355
/thread
>>54394332
Because it has Cinnamon.
>>54394332
After reading the arch hate threads I actually switched from mint to arch. It's pretty simple as long as you have the attention span to read the install page.
AUR is godly.
>>54396314
>never once broken my xorg.conf
That's a proper accomplishment anon. Poor little old me breaks it at least 6 times before supper.
>>54396390

>>54396256
>you caught us, this piece of advice was in fact a troll attempt.
>but this other one is legitimate!! I swear
I might be stupid but I'm not stupid enough to fall for this again.
It's so embarrassing bringing this into my school's tech support and they didn't even know what to do. They told me to go to the computer science department and ask around. It'll be so crushing if I run into my past or current teachers and see that I can't even care for my own computer but want a cs degree
>>54396314
It's not that we're stupid, it's that we find it stupid to manually install/configure an OS. Computers are supposed to automate things, and any effort you waste in an error-prone install process that has you copying commands from a wiki can be spent in far more productive things.
Also using bleeding edge packages is pretty stupid too.
Love it too, and love the hate it gets on here even more.
>>54396463
pacman is godly, AUR is godly. It's just a really simple distro that just makes sense, without any magic.

Epic. Give up honestly, learn to be plumber or something, you are too retarded for uni education. I actually hope this is bait, otherwise I feel bad for you/

Bad news bud, he's serious.
>>54396666
Also check em.
>>54394857
Yeah i accidentally made my arch a little wobbly during an update. Ubuntu 16.04 was coming out a week later so i just waited for it instead of fixing my arch.
Probably a sign arch isn't for me anyway
>>54396666

>can't even support multiple versions of a package at the same time without faffing about with makepkg
>>54396798
Sure bro, keep sucking that dick.
>>54396692
I just installed it. Chill man
>>54396152
Installing arch and setting it up is as simple as reading the wiki and following basic instructions and entering basic commands. If you can't do this then maybe all you should be using is your phone
>656 packages
Cause you just installed it. That's coming from someone who has mained arch for 3 years, also.
Why is Gnome so horrifying?
>>54397038
My setup is complete. Don't need more packages :^)

>>54396713
Gah, it does sound horrible. It will be impossible to get letters of recommendations in the future if I go in and ask for help on my personal computer.
I think I'll go another route. Luckily I got an extended 3 year warranty on my Dell so I will just say the hard drive glitched up on me and windows disappeared
>>54397172
Also, bare minimum arch comes with 490ish packages, no GUI. X has about 50 packages, and gnome probably has about as many, so it seems like you just installed gnome, X, and are now shitposting about how your literally bare minimum install is "enough"
I can't even run the LiveUSB, so is shit
>>54397580
That's right. I install Java and Lisp into my homer folder so they don't count as packages for screenfetch. And that's all I do on computer. I browse Internet and write code.
>>54397713
>homer folder
>>54395683
Now see, I know I could do the Classic theme (I've already aped Win95 on another computer via that) but that's not what I'm looking for.
I'm saying I want to make 7 use Luna. Completely different beast.
I've gotten decently close with registry edits and Classic Shell. But I can't get the window borders and taskbar to the proper appearance.
I've had a feeling that Visual Styles could be the key, but there's very little documentation on working with them where I've looked.
