I should just go back to Debian and hope Launchpad PPA's don't break anything

Actually, that's not smart. I should use Ubuntu minimal instead
Ubuntu and Debian are both shit malware OS
>>55403098
Should've went with Gentoo. Arch Linux is Systemd software anarchy.
>>55403098
Nice blogpost. Why don't you just do that instead of shitposting here?
>>55404237
The purpose of the post was to point out how overrated Arch is
>>55404263
Nobody forces you to use Arch. Use whatever OS want. That's the nice thing about Linux.
Aside from that I've yet to experience those problems you talk about (I don't see typing 'systemctl enable libvirtd' or whatever as a problem).

Sure, I'd go even further and suggest you go back to Windows. PKGBUILDs are essentially shell scripts, if those, and something like daemon management scare you because there's not a GUI straight out of the 90s that says "services" to guide you, you should not be using Linux.
Linux is only for smart people. Some people's brains are simply too slow to get advantage of a Unix/POSIX system.

Sounds like your retarded m8. Go back to Debian, learn a little bit more, and maybe try Arch again when you get some experience ;)
>>55404237
>Nice blogpost.
You mean like every other fucking thread on this board right now?
>>55404306
If I remember correctly Linux isn't posix compliant
>>55404829
Arch is just babyBSD. Eventually you'll learn enough to graduate to freebsd
>>55407098
Not UNIX, but definitely POSIX.
>>55403098
stick to debian
don't add PPAs, compile things yourself, use backports or use precompiled packages located in your home directory
if you install .deb packages make sure to clean up your sources.list or comment out the ones automatically added in sources.list.d
>>55404306
smart people would not use something like the AUR

After a couple of years the joy of arch has been replaced by the anger.
Move onto gentoo OP. It's not that bad to install and compile times aren't really an issue. Portage is well worth it.
>>55408799
Gentoo takes hours to compile the damn thing, years if you want make into a usable system!
>>55408848
No. Updates take like three minutes. You're just retarded.
>>55403098
What makes you go on the internet and tell lies?
>>55409614
the only thing that takes a while to build is chromium
>>55403098
>Launchpad PPA's
lol that shit is full of packages made by fucking creeps running cross platform software using wine.
>>55409614
gentoo users are retards, spending energy and time compiling each package to get the same performance, do you even read the source of packages?, I'm sure building an LFS is more productive that than shit.
>>55403428
explain
>aur is great
said no one ever
Should I fall for the Arch meme?
I like the idea of never having to upgrade my OS but whats the chance of some "bleeding edge" update killing my system?
>>55410174
1 in 10
>>55410174
dude only lazy retardeds who doesn't know how shared libraries works or what a rolling release distribution means breaks their system, most of the stupids complaining about upgrade breaking their system is the ones that updates things like libc without the whole system and expect that works. To an experienced user installing basic arch system takes no more than 10 minutes, copy your backup config files, recreate your users and install other software, I don't see the big deal if it breaks.
>>55410174
less likely than updating anything through apt
>>55410121
I'm sorry you're somehow incapable of doing other things while Gentoo compiles something
>>55403098
>I should just go back to Debian and hope Launchpad PPA's don't break anything
Yes please or buy mac. You are to retarded to use Arch anyway.
>>55408848
heh, got my system up and running in one sitting.
>>55410121
You're a pleb and will never know the joy of portage. Go back to your retard level OS while I shoot another load over my package.use
>>55410204
Bullshit, I've been updating daily for like a year and a half and have never borked my system
>>55410558
do you even know what an LFS is?
>>55403098
You don't see a lot of jobs requesting experience with Arch. A lot more want Ubuntu/Debian or Fedora/CentOS. Why waste your time on something you can't turn into money?
>>55410593
Little File System. Give me some credit. Wait? Large File Sytem? No... Linux File Sytem. Maybe. Actually Linux Fan Sound. That's gotta be it.
>>55410593
You gotta be retarded if you think LFS is more productive than Gentoo
>>55407109
freebsd is literally no harder to use than anything else. It also has a handholding handbook that is about as retard friendly as the arch wiki.
Freebsd does have the benefit of running linux binaries slower than linux though, so theres that.
Also jails I guess, not that you even use them you fucking fat bastard.
>>55410656
If you know how to use Arch, you know how to use Ubuntu too, you retard. Think before you shitpost.
>>55410757
for learning purpouses it was for me, you learn to solve problems and how packages are glued, gentoo is stupid.
>>55410806

kek kill yourself
>>55411709
Debian, Devian, Devil, Deviation,
Debian is for depravated people.
>>55403098
Gentoo
>>55404153
If I install gentoo with systemd, would that make you mad?
I think I'd enjoy making you mad.
>>55412115
It would be extremely irritating
>>55404306
>Some people's brains are simply too slow to get advantage of a Unix/POSIX system.
There is none. It even lacks features like thread-agnostic, non-blocking IO. Check out the PyParallel devs slides to know more about it.
>>55412286
You are a big guy.
>>55412286
It's on my to do list.
>>55403098

Have you considered killing yourself?
>>55403098
I like Arch

Now that we're blogposting anyway:
> Laptop breaks, but need to compute
> Pull my rPi2 with Arch out of closet after 3 months because I need it
> Realize no cable in my new room, grab 2 year old wifi usb dongle
> Plug it in, recognized instantly
> wifi-manager was already installed because I foresaw shit like this, literally four buttons + wpa key
> pacman -Syyu, packer -Syyu, everything up to date in under 3 minutes
> copy nvimrc, :Bundleinstall
> everything just werks
Actually feels good man
