Arch a cute!

Sounds like a win.

Almost every distro has an individual purpose, and there is nothing wrong with that.

for some stupid reason I keep fucking things up between configuring fstab and bootctl install, fml
>>54905536
if Arch is going to be my only OS can't I just forego swap partition? I think I've narrowed my fuckup to the efi/ESP partition, I mean it can't be that hard to set Arch up right?
>>54904316
Arch wa sugoidesu!
kanpai!!
Been using Arch for 2 years, once up and running it is rock solid. My only issues have been due to a lack of personal intelligence.
I use Arch on my main box, lubuntu and xubuntu on the other two, just to save on updating.

Arch is a waste of time. An OS should be a platform for me to run applications on. It should be a means to an end. Arch is so much about tinkering that it becomes an end unto itself, which isn't productive at all.
>inb4 I want to learn how my computer *really* works
No you don't. All you want to do is copy and paste directions from a wiki and then act like an elitist asshole. Arch's user base is the most cancerous of any distribution apart from maybe Void.
Pic related is obligatory.
>>54905637
I like running more that one instance of Atom.
>>54905611
KDE did nothing wrong. If you have the RAM to run it, it's a great option. Certainly much better than GNOME these days.
TDE is better though.

Why use Arch, when you can use Fedora?
>>54905710
I don't want to be RHEL's bitch
>>54905671
It's too minimal for its own good. Requiring the user to do everything. Even if you wanted bleeding edge, why not just use Antergos? If it's about simplicity, then use Slackware. Slackware is how to do simple correctly. Nothing is easier or harder than it needs to be. Arch makes things needlessly complex and then breaks.
>>54905738
Whats wrong with RHEL? They are the only one that is pushing future of GNU/Linux, meanwhile other distros being their bitch and embracing systemD from Red Hat.
>>54905710
Fedora's memory consumption is shit. Way too high. I'd rather turn CentOS into a desktop to tell you the truth.

>>54904316
Tried it, sucked balls. Had to use Gnome or KDE to get complete set of features including network manager. It was a struggle just to get a complete control panel. For noobs who don't know i3 and openbox config routine, sticking with bloated KDE and Gnome was awful, it defeated the purpose of using Arch. I found pacman to be a complete asshole when compared with Ubuntu apt system.
If only Ubuntu wasn't so shit, I would have used it. For now its back to Windows 8.1.

Architect is one but it is cancerous especially during partitioning and updating bootloader. It almost always fails to detect Windows 10 partition. Then you have to install Manjaro or Ubuntu to fix the stupid issue. I tried Architect like 8 times and each time some complication during installation. Fuck this gay earth.
>>54905751

Why is that necessary?
>>54905782
lol...
>>54905751
Antergos and arch are pretty much the same thing.
>>54906680
Exactly, except the Antergos community isn't nearly as elitist and cancerous. Arch babies are the worst.
>>54904791
>>54905639

So the best arguments against using Arch are retarded meme images, singling out strange users of an operating system with thousands of users, and unfounded "facts"?
Sounds like I might have to try it then, it must be good if retards on /g/ try this hard to discredit it.
>>54905880
This must be bait.

>>54907874
ahaha man, you guys sound so buttmad about an operating system, it's really funny.
I mean take a step back and look what you are doing -- creating and post these images because you dislike people using some Linux distribution. How low can you get, and why are you wasting your limited time.
>>54907901
Stop wasting time with these blog posts and get your diaper on, time to install arch!
>>54907943
I don't have a diaper fetish. Do you really think you are making good arguments, me mad or convincing anyone of your opinion by just outright lying? This is so dumb -- just stop being a mindless retard for a moment.
>>54907962
Take a good look at the guy you're responding to. That's what happens when you get your feelings hurt on the Internet by some boogeyman that exists only in your own mind.

>>54907863
mom cancel my meetings
windows upgraded itself again and automatically uninstalled my software
>>54908001
Yeah, I should just stop. It's just, I'm trying to imagine the kind of guy who would just mindlessly post these images. I am not even trying to insult him right now, it's just -- he is just wasting his time by posting dumb images with false claims about a Linux distribution he probably has never used and has absolutely no relevance to him.
I just don't understand how you get to that point and how you wouldn't be able to reflect on your own behavior to stop it.

>It's just, I'm trying to imagine the kind of guy who would just mindlessly post these images.
It's real easy to imagine, when you know what he is.
What you've got there is someone who got his ass blasted by what he's absolutely convinced are "Arch Linux Elitists" who called him a noob or something. Mind you, they were just the usual garden variety Internet trolls, but he doesn't get that. In his mind, they were real Linux Elitists who shit on him for not being as experienced as they were.
Where does this lead? To the behavior you're seeing right now. A desperate attempt to get revenge by "trolling" them back.
Also just as likely is that he's finally realized he got trolled, and now to stave off the embarrassment he's joining their ranks. Unaware that he's *still* not in on the joke, and never will be.
In any case, it's fucking hilarious to watch. And a great example of the sorts of people who don't, and never will, fit in here on 4chan. Despite all the "trolling" and "irony" attempts, they're still taking the Internet way too seriously.
>>54905639
>Arch is so much about tinkering that it becomes an end unto itself, which isn't productive at all.
The most work you put into it is during installation and initial setup, after that it's fine to work with.
Also, excellent memes m8, they definitely want to make me take your opinion seriously
>>54908120
>>54906680
I've tries antergos 3 times, with a couple months of separation, the three times there was always something wrong, first time was the the desktop, second time it installed and got a bootloop, third time no USB device would work.
>>54908120
kind of sad, thanks for the explanation.
>>54908160
No problem. Just don't end up like him. He's a buttmad kid who got his feelings hurt. Don't take this shit too seriously and end up the same way he is, just from the other side of the fence.
Fell for the Arch/KDE meme.
Then added fluxbox.Then GNoME3. Then awesome. Then xmonad. Then that other one.
Never looked back until computer broke. Got new computer. Installed linux mint. Currently reasonably pleased, but looking back.

Linux users should learn to boot a live cd and chroot into the system on your hdd anyways. It will very likely save you from needing to completely reinstall a broken system one day.
