Why aren't you using an Arch based distro yet anon?
>but muh stability
I've only had Arch crash on me once, and that was because of a shitty game
>muh support
Arch wiki
>muh long and hard install
Use manjaro then
With Arch based distros you have all your packages in 2 repos, you never have to install a repo again. Not to mention the rolling release and bleeding edge software.
Its no wonder that Linux hasn't gained much desktop users, with shitty Debian based distros being the most commonly known.
>>54976553
Debian is for entry-level coding only
Top-tier server stuff and actual hacking? Arch.
>>54976535
because I want my distro to work (mostly) out of the box without doing any unnecessary work?
I'm not baiting you Anon, but aiming not to spend too much time with configuring & troubleshooting my GNU\Linux based OS.
>>54976553
>implying you can't install Debian based packages with Arch/Manjaro
>>54976573
The only thing that didn't work out of the box for me was my sound, that was an easy fix through a simple installation of Pulseaudio.
>>54976608
>not seeing the obvious bait
Tripfags just keep becoming dumber and dumber every year.
>>54976596
I had some troubles with it, and some things didn't really wanted to work like they should've worked like.
Also, I was aiming for good support, so... the Anon (>>54976553) is a bit right about software support for Debian based system. Just download the deb file, install it, and I'm good.
>>54976644
Fair enough
See >>54976582
>>54976535
>stability
Stability isn't just about crashing, it's about version upgrades requiring further configuration or worse causing compatibility issues. Really not a huge deal if you're just running a distro on your personal computer.
>manjaro
These guys don't push security upgrades and they can't remember to update their SSL certificates.
Arch AUR, packages that have been updated in the last 3 months: about 13000
Arch x86_64 packages: 6283
Total ~ 19500 packages
Debian x86_64 packages in sid WITHOUT any user repositories: ~ 28000
>>54976666
>what is rollback
For servers Debian makes sense, for desktop use Arch based distros makes sense.
>Manjaro guys don't don't push security updates
>memeing
>>54976693
Debian can do both.
>>54976682
And how many of those debian packages are actually useful?
>>54976700
Arch/Manjaro does desktop better.
>>54976707
>Arch/Manjaro does desktop better.
In what way? I'm really curious :)
>>54976707
How many in Arch are useful?
That's an utterly subjective opinion.
>>54976535
I am using arch and have been for years now.
>>54976722
All of the major packages in Debian are in Arch as well, and you can install .deb files in arch.
>>54976720
See >>54976535
Because I don't want to use a distro developed by guys so lazy they can't package the software they ship configured already with sane defaults.
>>54976737
The only two distinct arguments have been refuted. Other distributions have both rolling releases and more packages.
So how does Arch "do desktop better", apart from being more bloated than Debian? Bootstrapped Arch is larger than bootstrapped Debian btw.
>>54976682
This is a meme because debian splits packages into normal and -dev. So effectively you have to divide the number of debian packages by two. Real numbers:
Arch: 19500
Debian: 14000
Debian cucks BTFO
>>54976781
>So effectively you have to divide the number of debian packages by two.
Wrong. I leave the "why" as an exercise to the feeble-minded reader.
Arch is the distro of choice of kernel developers. Any more questions?
>>54976762
1. I never have to install a repo ever
2. Debian isn't rolling release its on a 3 month cycle
3. Literally just sudo pacman -S/yaourt -S to install any package ever and its done
4. Arch wiki.
>>54976682
Debian splits a lot of package while Arch Keeps It Simple (tm) and rarely splits packages
>>54976802
Yes, one more:
Why I should care about what the kernel developers does in their computers that isn't related with the kernel directly?
>>54976810
>2. Debian isn't rolling release its on a 3 month cycle
It is apparent that you never even used Debian
>>54976828
That's actually true. I once tried to install Debian on a laptop using their graphical installer (TM) but it just hung after a while and didn't respond to input anymore. And that's why I don't use debian.
Arch is the favorite distribution of kernel developers, AI researchers, rocket scientists and expert hackers such as myself
Debian: noobs and clueless hipsters
>>54976848
--> >>54976821
Also
>linus uses fedora
>>54976843
So why didn't you bootstrap Debian like a true 1337 Arch hacker would?
>>54976737
>you can install .deb files in arch.
I use Arch and I'm a big fan of it, but this is a little misrepresentative. Yes it can be done, but it's not exactly pleasant. They typically depend on large chains of other debian packages and you end up installing half the bloody OS to get anything done.
>>54976869
Sounds complicated. Why is there more than one way to install debian? Anyway I just installed arch afterwards without a problem.
>>54976886
Literally EVERY distribution has a bootstrap installation method.
>>54976901
Well excuse me but I thought debian was supposed to be stable and just work. If not even their normal installer works then I can't imagine what would have happened if I had managed to install it somehow.
>>54976914
>Debian offers a bootstrapping method of install
>therefore it must be unstable
What?
>>54976737
Technically you can install Arch packages in Debian if you want to get your feet wet. Granted it's completely pointless. Same thing goes for Debian packages in Arch though.
>>54976933
>debian's graphical installer is fubar
>therefore it must be unstable
>>54976828
>tfw radical user
>>54976737
and you ca use the AUR with literally any distro if you are not a retard, what is your point?
>>54976947
Sound logic, bro.
>>54976977
If your installation process is less usable than arch's then you're asking to be trashed.
>>54976535
because pacman obliterates config files
my comfy as fuck slackpkg prompts for each conflicting rc/conf with diff output and lets you keep/overwrite/merge each as needed
>>54976986
Stop buying shitty core 2 duo shinkpads, anon. I have installed Debian the last week in a lot of computers and no one has suffered any problem.

plenty of other reasons not to use arch though

maybe it would have worked if I had compiled my own kernel, enabled my own repos, changed to another install, etc. but I want something that just works by default.
having to jump through so many hoops to install debian on a simple consumer laptop is what makes it a hobbyist distro.
>>54977151

>literally changing a text file or using http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/
>hobbyist distro used as a base by the most popular distro and used in fucking space
>long and hard install
It really isn't. The installation iso has install.txt that literally tells you everything you need to do.
>>54977177
I don't know. I just followed the instructions on the website and in the installer. If it had told me to do that then I would have done it. But it didn't.
Debian is only a base, not a usable desktop OS unto itself. Ubuntu is employing many people to turn it into something that can be considered ready for users.
>>54977204
meanwhile my debian sid is more stable than buntu 16.04 at times.
if debian is too hard for you, maybe you should read their documentation and wiki and handbook? or a few man pages, it definitely helps.
>>54977113
>implying arch users are elitists
>implying that being the biggest retard on retard mountain makes you elite
i love elitism
using slackware makes me feel pretty elite because all the experience i have gained trying to make things work over the last 14 years means i can come up with (at least) quick and dirty solutions for annoying inconvenience in most other poorly-designed distros. in comparison, 95% of arch users are clueless idiots who have to consult the wiki for everything and/or open forum threads with inane questions because all they can do is follow directions that they don't understand
>>54977241
if anything is hard then it's writing an installer that not just hangs indefinitely if it fails to detect the hardware.
it's too hard for debian apparently. maybe it's too hard for arch too but at least they don't pretend otherwise.
>>54977245
I use dwm which makes me elite according to the dwm homepage. Questions?
>>54977269
arch had an installer.
the debian isntaller only very very rarely has bugs. you would find out if you actually knew how to report them or read the mailing lists. i am pretty sure you were using the beta installer that some people think is the installer for stretch.
>>54977287
>>I use dwm which makes me elite according to the dwm homepage. Questions?

It's all true.
>>54977316

I am right now. I still hate systemd, but Arch hasn't been nearly as much trouble as I was memed to believe. In fact, for the most part everything just werks.

use antergos or similar shit, that gives you nice gui install and at most one package from their own repo for the numix icons
manjaro is dependent on their own repos that lag behind the arch's ones by weeks if not a month
>>54976535
What makes you think I'm not?
I'm using Arch gnu/linux.
No USE flags.
>>54976535
I use Debian. I have had zero crashes.
Seriously what makes people think that arch takes long to install? I had an old netbook laying around running gd win7 home and I installed arch more or less in the time it takes to get the packages. It is a more cumbersome task on computers with more components (setting up RAID still irritates me) but still it's like 2 hours tops.
>>54976535
but I am anon.
>>54977998
I've tried to install Gentoo and Funtoo and I get lost and confused in the handbook with compiling the kernel and modules and USE flags.

seconding this, GuixSD+dwm would be perfect.
>>54978172
Honestly, if you can't figure it out with clearly written instructions, Funtoo is not for you.
>>54976566
Wtf? Distro doesn't define that shit
>>54978172
>What do I enable for USE?
Whatever you need the resulting program to (not) do. For instance, if a program carries the ncurses USE flag you can enable it to include ncurses support and disable it to disable ncurses support.
All of this is already explained in the wiki in greater detail. You should look that up.
>Does compiling lead to better power management?
I don't even know where to begin here.
>>54976914
I guess the main installation method is still the ncurses based one, not sure if the GUI installer is considered stable yet.
Also the GUI installer might have gotten stuck by some other process running (e.g. DHCP or disk discovery)

Of course, servers need to be Debian based for maximum stability.
One of the reasons I moved out of the Arch community is that a lot of the community itself just brags about using Arch Linux. Also Arch only supports Systemd and I don't like precompiled binaries either. I never see people in the Gentoo community bragging about using Gentoo because they're actually professional.

What I like about Arch is that what you pay in initial configuration time you get back in system maintenance.
You pretty much never have to install foreign packages, everything is in the AUR or the repos up to date.
Ubuntu and Debian can be painful when you have to compile a program from source instead of using the one on the repos because its too old or something.

I'll use Gentoo hardened for the custom kernel and no systemd, but Arch is my secondary. I find Debian to be always outdated and slow to push security updates.

Yes, the distro meant for routers & the like, using musl c library instead of glibc, kernel has grsec patches, etc. Overkill paranoia for a desktop. I supposed "hardened" is a more accurate term. Things like a whitelist of ports & addresses would help, but it's a nice start.

>>54988221
Took me one afternoon (which I would've spent fapping to Chinese cartoons) to install Arch without any Linux experience. By the way you can install Antergos if you want an installer, but you will still need to know about your config files and system in general if you want to properly use your system.

Kali is based on debian fuck nut I've worked in pen testing for 3 years and never seen a faggot use arch seriously

Because arch-based distros suck, only one that's worth it's the original Arch.

HACKING
LMAO
>>54994072
No. It's also necessary for Workstations or any business environment with similar setups that need to be reliable. It doesn't matter if you like Arch more, the company decides and bleeding edge is not the way to go.
I installed my old arch installations using Evo/Lution - worked great. Fuckers stopped developing it though and architect doesn't work for me, for some reason.
>>54995255
One problem with architect is that it doesn't auto set your partitions as boot.
>>54995357
This is considered a Problem for Arch HaX0rS? Kekedikek
>>54976535
but i am, Manjaro is really good
>>54996052
No when you create a "boot partition" in architect it should auto set the partition as boot. So when you think it is set as boot it misleads you into thinking it isn't.
>>54976535
But I am
>>54997968
Nice package amount
>>54997968
The screenfetch package in my arch install is slightly broken, but then again, it's arch, so I don't know what I expected.
>>54976566
You are a fucking wannabee.
>>54977857
In Debian though, most of them are.

>I want to have a funcional desktop
Don't use a tiling wm
It’s been a while I’ve been using Arch (Apricity OS actually, but it’s more of a pre-configured Arch with a GUI installer) on my computer, and I’m still waiting for any issue.
>>54998777
Just realized I forgot to blur some parts of the picture. Oh well…

I've been using arch on my desktop for a little over a year now and have encountered far less stability issues on it than I ever did on windows, or any other distro for that matter. Arch is not hard to install and is not hard to manage as long as you aren't a fucking idiot who's unwilling to educate yourself. AUR is quick and convenient and the Arch community continues to be one of the most helpful and friendly I've encountered.
That being said...
Stop giving a fuck about what distro other people use. People will use whatever operating system they like most. There is no objective best. You're all fucking annoying and retarded

thank you! Credits to CitronSec for drawing ALYS
I'm.
>>54998777
How do you like Apricity? Why not just do a plain Arch install and then make it look like that?
>>54998948
You're technically correct with that "I'm", but it just bothers me so much lol
>>55000535
On my previous computer, I had Arch, but I felt too lazy to do it all over again. Also, Apricity (as I said before) is just a pre-riced Arch, so ultimately it doesn’t change a lot of things except the fact it’s riced out of the box. Also, as it has a simple GUI installer, it went faster to install it this way.
>>55000699
Last time I tried it a few months ago the calamaries installer kept crashing and failing on me. But I'm content with what I have.
>>54976535
>With Arch based distros you have all your packages in 2 repos, you never have to install a repo again. Not to mention the rolling release and bleeding edge software.
Got all my packages in my repos, only ever had to use a single overlay once ever which was about 2 extra steps anyway. My distro is rolling release, and it's up to date but not bleeding edge because I don't want bleeding edge. Packages memory leak, break and bug out on their newest version, I'd rather go for fully tested packages by the Gentoo devs nd have the option of staying bleeding edge on the specific packages I need.
Why would I use arch?

Weird, I thought Arch users hated it when people even used Architect, let alone Manjaro.
>>55002617
Those are the pretentious Arch users that ruin the Arch and Linux community.

Feels good man.
