A good alternative to the shitty Arch Linux meme?

Takes too long to compile and install, as well as having to unmask packages. Fuck that shit.

Almost there...
Tried installing FreeBSD on my T420 thinkpad, DHCP setup worked during install but couldnt connect to any of the software repositories.
Said fuck it and installed Mint KDE in about 10 minutes.

Arch is probably the most straightforward, simple barebone distribution you're gonna get recommended to install.
>>54693305
Personally though I'd be curious to see if there's a comparable barebone distribution in the RHEL/Debian branch. It's nice to have a distro that uses a widely supported package manager with decades of repository buildup.
>>54693305
Void, or Devuan.
>>54693963
You are aware you can install basically any distro with no packages right? Just do a net install and don't install anything. Kinda pointless though when you're just going to install the packages anyway when you reboot. This is probably why easy installers just save you the time
Slackware.
It just werks™.
>>54693305
Amazon Ubotnet, you fucking douche.
>>54693305
Just use fucking ubuntu.
Its the most supported and functional.
Unless, yer one of dem custom errding types.
I bet you carved your own toilet seat out of some obscure ass wood. Just so you can take a shit "in control".
>>54693963
>RHEL/Debian branch
rhel and debian are completely different.
Stop shilling that disgusting BSD crap.
It is absolute shit.
BSD is awesome.
>>54694263
I used to use BSD before I started using Linux
>>54694184
There's no reason to use Ubuntu when you have Debian, unless you like the bloatware and excess shit that Canonical adds to Ubuntu.
>>54694208
I know. That's why there's a slash between then.
I know a good alternative, Arch with OpenRC
Seriously SystemD is cancer.
Gentoo

Like what?
Nice.
Antergos, It's arch but without the pointless troubles, and no following a guide on youtube to install your system is not being smart
>>54694304
>>54695518
It took you an hour and a half just to get a basic desktop environment going. Why not just use Mint XFCE or something.
>>54695555
I was doing other things in the meantime. This is just a side project.
Installing Firefox...
>>54693305
OSX
>>54693346
I don't have an issue compiling. I use Ports of FreeBSD anyway and I like Portage more than Ports. I'm thinking about trying HardenedBSD.

May I interject for a moment. What you call cuckBSD is in fact cuckBSD/nothing werks or as I have started to call it: cuckBSD plus nothing werks

Stay with FreeBSD.
FreeBSD is awesome!

Why is /g/ so anti-arch lately? I thought /g/ liked arch linux.
>>54699730
You must have been frequenting a different /g/
>>54699730
>/g/ is one person
>>54699752
I never implied that. I just implied that /g/ happens to have a lot of anti-arch threads lately. Clear enough for you? If it isn't then I can try to rephrase it once more for you. I could also type out all the possible combinations of explaining this to you. Would that be enough?
>>54699763
You literally implied that /g/ is anti-arch
>>54693305
>>54699730
>Why is /g/ so anti-arch lately? I thought /g/ liked arch linux.
The part of /g/ that rices desktops and puts anime waifus all over their screen likes arch because arch has a wiki that holds your hand as you customize the bells and whistles.
The part if /g/ that works on things other than customizing their OS hates arch.
I'm the latter. Simple awesomewm with a toolbar which shows a network/wifi icon and the time is good enough for me.
>>54698221
>lets you do anything you want with the code
More like lets companies fuck you over by closing the source code
>>54699768
Yes but I never implied that "/g/ is one person". Please don't put words into my mouth when I didn't say or type these things at all.
while we're shitting on eachother's OSes of preference, how yall feel about alpine
>>54694304
Only in a VM. Same goes for Linux. They all work nicely in VM but when you run them bare metal or try to dual boot distros like Arch Linux, it fucks up completely. The MBR cannot be restored by startup repair, which shows how idiotic the installation process is.
>>54694184
I have tried every variation of Ubuntu, the 16.04 and Linux 4.4 have created serious problem for my wireless module that is not being detected and configured properly. When I try to manually compile and install the driver, it fails with a screen full of errors.
Fucking nonsense. Windows update takes care of all drivers automatically and if you have a driver executable installer, it does its magic in a few clicks.
Why is Linux and BSD such shit operating systems? Unix was a mistake.
>>54699860
you haven't moved onto UEFI yet brah?
>>54699883
I have disabled it from BIOS. UEFI is even worse.
Ubuntu is the best since it's the most popular therefore it's more hw compatible and has better drivers.
I'll show you how deep the rabbit hole really goes.
what's up with this /g/ meme where everyone makes their username jason
>>54699892
Ubuntu is just unnecessarily bloated.
>>54699892
It has nothing to do with ubuntu being popular, just to do with the fact that it's based on debian's base, which is incredibly stable and nice. Debian has been around for decades, yet it still manages to hold up nicely against all of these 'bleeding edge' distros like arch. Just goes to show how rewarding a project can be when you design it around stability, instead of trying to make it as cutting edge as possible.
>>54699896
installing funtoo rn pham, show me your feet
>>54699914
Funtoo is alright. I still like Gentoo more.
>>54693357
delete lib32, it's a virus.
>>54699970
I've never used either, Arch fanboy here, looks pretty cozy though so far
>>54693934
I wanted to install a *BSD based OS once, but I don't think I'm ready for a non GNU/Linux yet.
>>54699792
When you ask why "/g/ is so anti-arch lately" you're basically saying that everyone on /g/ is anti-arch
I've been using Arch for 3 months, and so far, it's the most stable OS I ever tried, and I never had any problems that I couldn't fix with a quick web search.
Don't believe the memes. Arch is an awesome distro.
This leads me to thinking that all the "install Gentoo" memes are not true too, so maybe one day, I'll give it a try.
>>54700019
>it's the most stable OS I ever tried
You haven't tried many distros then.
Don't get me wrong, I think Arch is ok but it's definetely not a very stable OS.
>>54697386
Yes, is it.
>>54700038
will it give me a feminine penis
>>54700036
"Stable" is a very loose term and its meaning changes between developer and end user obviously.
>>54700036
What I'm saying is, I [still] haven't had any problem that breaks my system completely to the point that I have to reinstall the wole thing. This has happened to me when I used Fedora, and when I used Ubuntu.
>>54694184

You sick fuck!
How the fuck can a penis be femenine?
A female has no penis. So what you mean by a femenine penis, is no penis at all.
>>54700062
It will give you powerful customized unix-like environment with decent POSIX support.
If you want have cute young looking penis it's only in your hands.
>>54697031
She's gone from the community. Relax anon.
Besides i'm sure every community has a couple of psycho's (though not as bad as her).
>>54693320
fpbp
>>54700123
Lots of things can be feminine without being female. Anyway a feminine penis just means that it's average/small size and cute (uncut is a bonus but not required).
What are the benefits of FreeBSD anyway?

Well now you've typed "/g/ is one person" so it's fair game.
