install Arch Linux
>>55030368
But I did. With KDE 5. Never looked back
>>55030390
good
>>55030368
how about no ?
>>55030390
Same here. KDE5 is confy!
Maybe i install Crux later.
>>55030533
I personally use Budgie but okay
Tried but couldn't even try the usb boot, I'm not a pro like you.
>>55030533
Same here but I'm using i3.
It's been a fun, I've learned a lot about Linux and scripting
Got it with GNOME and only once booted back into windows again to find out what programs I used the most
Never looked back ever again
Can't unsee fat goy
Too big on the tech illiteracy side

not compatible with amd catalyst drivers :c
>>55030368
I will pay someone to guide me through an install.
>>55031835
Use Architect, It's an installer for pure Arch, takes 15min.
Or If that's to hard, Antergos allows a almost one click install.
>>55031835
Architect, Archbang and ArchEverywhere are arch installers
If that is too hard try antergos or manjaro (antergos looks better out if the box and is not bloated, manjaro has the best community, works 99% out of the box)
>>55031835
Use Architect or Antergos
Man are the shills ever getting lazy
Here's one I use because I work with Android and AUR is pre-installed:
http://bbqlinux.org/
Works everytime.Pure Arch, much like Antergos.
Did yesterday. have not slept for 32 hours because had to configure dual-boot and the system itself to make it comfy. Pic related (running Discord server)
>>55030894
anon, thats just a reflection
>>55031835
Ok I'll do it.
>>55031835
A guy with discord bot here. Quite simple if you follow the guide. If you want to dual-boot ofc

>>55030533
is kde5 still buggy?
>>55032171
>shilling free software
ok
>>55030368
Ok, but please explain what I will win in the process. I'm using Windows and I like it in general, so I'm going to need real arguments if I make a change.
>>55032493
I'm on skylake with igpu and hdmi output. I cant get anything to boot. Always black screens on install. It's a bug I think. I think kernel 4.6 is the only thing to fix it but I'm unsure.
>>55032827
Security and privacy. I use windows too, inside a VM
>>55030368
I'm not an autistic virgin and I have a life
Memes aside, Manjaro is so comfy so why should I switch to arch ? I'm interested in trying it.
>>55032872
>I-I have a life guyzzz pls no
>>55032872
this is like what a shut in thinks "normal" people do.
>>55030368
I've been using Arch on my main machine for almost 2 years and started using LXQt a few months ago. Comfy as fuck...
>>55030368
install you're mum

Good job kiddies. Now go install Gentoo.

man I missed a space
>>55030368
Nah, m8. I'm happy w/ Kubuntu.

I'm pretty sure it's intentionally supposed to look like a person.
>>55032872
a friend of mine uses Arch, goes to parties, fucks with gf and other girls. This image is not accurate
I'm genuinely curious. What is so great about Arch Linux? I used it for about a year and a half and it really wasn't that great. It was alright. Pacman is cool if you want to run a binary distro but Arch is throttled with Systemd and software anarchy as well as a community who think they're 1337 but are actually just intermediate. Everyone brags about how flexible it is but a system that is stuck in bleeding edge default is not very flexible. The ABS was the only thing about Arch Linux that I really enjoyed.
I use Arch with Cinnamon on my desktop and with Xfce on my laptop. I've installed it like one year ago and never turned back.
>>55034409
If he fucks with his gf AND other girls then he's an asshole
>>55034440
Well, she isn't properly his gf, more like friends with benefits
>>55034440
Indeed, cheating in any form is unforgivable. Then again, for all we know, they could be in one of those new-age "open relationships". He fucks her & everygirl else ; she fucks him & everyguy else. We just don't know.
>>55034424
Arch is one of the only upstream, relatively minimal, easily configurable, non-autistic (meaning non-"ONLY FREE SOFTWARE") distros available.
>>55032872
does this apply for gentoo aswell?
>>55034487
That's not true at all actually.
>>55034533
Usually it's only new Gentoo users who brag about it. Gentoo community is very kind and professional. I love it honestly. I only use one testing package and the rest are stable-hardened.
>>55030368
How do I get wifi to work in manjaro, with a MacBook retina late 2014?
Any proprietary drivers?
>>55034575
Name other ones then.
I can't even install Mint correctly.
>>55034725
How
>>55034761
I'm an incompetent faggot
>>55034871
Well, anybody can learn
it's shit
>>55034871
I just installed in a VM, its even easier than windows if you don't do manual partitioning.
>>55034663
BSD
LFS
Gentoo
There's more but these are relatively minimal, easily configurable and if a distro only contained free software then it would lack proprietary support
>>55034725
Keep trying man. I really don't recommend Mint.
>>55034907
>>55034898
I'm trying to dual boot; I've installed Debian and stuff before. The installer wont recognize any of my partitions.
>>55034922
*Slackware
>>55034951
What partition table (mbr or efi)? What filesystem?
>>55034942
what do you recommend for a first distro then? I didn't like ubuntu .
>>55034975
It's all fucked, It's mbr, and legacy with windows 10. I've tried everything I could find online. I'm currently putting linux on an old laptop atm.
>>55034988
Mint is literally an Ubuntu skin.
You could try Mint Debian Edition maybe...
But ideally Suse/Fedora and Debian even are fine if you want to learn Linux from scratch, Ubuntu is for the one that doesn't want to touch a terminal.
>>55034922
BSD - no support
LFS - no package manager that helps with dependencies
Gentoo - have to compile packages
None are acceptable alternatives to Arch. I want a nimble distro with good dependencies resolution and some modicum of configurability, but I don't want to compile most things, and I want a decent amount of packages available to me.
>>55035034
>>55035034
I've used Debian before. What's the difference between Suse/Fedora and Debian?
>>55035009
The intallation manager simply doesn't see the partitions?
>>55035080
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Linux_distributions
But basically I would say Debian>Fedora>Suse in terms of balance between general use and advanced features, different packet managers, etc etc, its all there.
>>55035065
>Gentoo
Just use precompiled binaries then. You can also prepare binaries. Hell of a lot more nimble than Arch. USE flags make handling dependencies a breeze.
>>55034988
When I first started Linux I distro hopped a lot and you might too. Don't make the mistake of thinking that Gentoo, Arch and LFS are for advanced users because I usually encourage new users to try meta-distros. This way you'll be more inclined to use the shell.I stuck with Debian for a while, Red Hat for school and then I tried Arch, FreeBSD, Slackware, OpenSUSE ect. and eventually landed myself with Gentoo.
>>55035417
What's the point of gentoo?
>>55034622
Pretty sure this is covered in the Arch wiki. Manjaro has MHWD (Manjaro Hardware Detector) it should grab everything you need if it's available.
>>55035205
not at all, I've tried everything.
>>55035553
Around here it's fap material for autists who like to pretend it's some sort of "next level" shit. You REALLY wanna go full blown autist? Install something like Slackware or BSD faggotry where there isn't shit for documentation.
>>55035666
i thought full blown autist was Temple OS
Xubuntu is the best because it just works on everything form my core 2 duo dell to my sister's Ivy Bridge toshiba.
>>55035553
Arch nemesis hate Gentoo but we don't really care. Everything is optimized from source for your native CPU architecture and it's far more flexible than Arch Linux. No default Systemd and no software anarchy. I can run bleeding edge on Gentoo if I just set the USE flags but I like hardened stable. It also has more support than a lot of other distros and the devs aren't retarded.

Why should I? ubuntu is way more comfy
