Why would I switch from my beloved Arch to a lesser distro?

How do you deal with all the old as fuck packages? I'm using testing because some shit is like 2 years old

>>55112360
>How do you deal with all the old as fuck packages?
By having a stable system
>>55112335
See you say that like it's possible to find even half-decent themes on those sites. They're full to the brim with utter tripe, even the stuff that's highly rated / downloaded is shit.
Starting to think Numix is the only one worth using and I'm sick of the sight of it.
>>55112378
If you value stability why use noobian instead of god tier CentOS?
>>55112302
Make your own, that's what I do.
Find a template theme >>55112335 and edit the .svg or .bmp files in GIMP or some other editor.
Takes time, but so much worth it.

Not in the slightest. This is a place for people who know technology, those sorts of people don't use Windows.

No, you belong on /v/ with the other children.
Oh but I am
>>55114980
Yup that's what I'm doing. It works very good in terms of performance, but there seems to be some problems resetting the amd card after the windows vm shuts down, so i essentially either have to keep it on all the time or reboot my computer every time i want to boot it again.
This might be a problem with this card though, I don't know. It also crashes libvirt so i suggest you don't do important things while playing with passthrough.
>>55115422
damn the crashing sucks, I have a 270x I was going to try to pass through some day
but every time I look at the KVM wiki's on configuring that, I just reboot into my gaymen OS
and run it native.

I respectfully disagree.
>>55115449
It's quite painful to set up i will admit, I was ripping my hair out for a night until I got it working.
the problem is that there are a lot of OS specific things in most documentation on how to do it. OS specific as in it differs from distro to distro.
I did it because I rarely play windows games and I just want to be able to do it those few times I do. and leaving all my things behind complicates things a lot. just my personal experience. i leave my computer on for days, weeks, months at a time if i have no reason to reboot so sometimes there is a ton of half finished stuff going on.

>>55115306
I use Linux on everything personally, but I disagree.
I think there are people who know technology on Windows, they just know a different area than most Linux users.
The guys shilling for windows or os x for various reasons obviously don't know shit, though. You use the tool that performs the job the best in any situation.
Windows is usually better in an office environment, Linux is usually better for advanced programming and servers, OS X is usually better for enjoying cinnamon latte vegan gluten free starbucks coffee.

all right, two questions
in what situation is this beneficial as opposed to having Linux servers with power and Windows clients (as an example)?
how is my company going to make money off of selling apple products in those 0.0001% cases where it might be beneficial if what you say actually applies in the real world?
>>55115734
No, I'm serious. From what I've seen/heard Debian requires a bit more set up than Ubuntu.

you're right about that

note that im talking about a business situation.
i don't care how you set things up at home, but if you have 500 employees you would most likely prefer to have active directory over some gimped os x system that requires apple IDs and app store for system updates
>>55115776
biggest difference is debian has a scary text based installer, and won't install a graphical driver helper or update manager by default
>>55115776
Debian, like Ubuntu has a graphical installer. The only problem you may have is if you're using a wireless connection instead of wired.

The only reason it isn't accepted by RMS is because they have the option of non-free repos. Debian is as free as it gets.
It can be bleeding edge with Sid if you're a madman, or up to date with Testing.
Ubuntu is so popular right now, that it's better to chose the mother of all Debian based distros for shit like gaymes.

Ok, I concede. That's actually reassuring. I thought about using Debian on a server, but its official kernel does not support Maxwell out of the box.

In my experience, people using years-old packages run into more problems than people using fully patched and up-to-date software.
The amount of bug reports we get due to random crap breaking in people's 2-year old ffmpeg and 1-year old mpv versions is astonishing. Software isn't designed to bit rot.

Ubuntu LTS is the best bistro for getting stuff done. You can go from blank SSD to productive in less than ten minutes if you can get your dotfiles there efficiently.
