I mean. I understand the Arch fanbase on here are disgusting. But as a noob it feels like a pretty nice system and I don't see the hate.
Past the installation I haven't really had any major issues with it.
>>51654692
You are lying. You just installed Antegros.
It's not Arch.
>>51654716
Implying the arch install is hard
>>51654687
>>51654703
I loved these, do you have anymore?
>>51654716
Nope. I did use Antergos for a while though.
Pretty nice distro(shitty installer aside) and it helped me learn a lot.
Why Arch elitist feels the need to hate on it is beyond me since if anything it's a great gateway into proper Arch. I mean, it was for me.
>>51654746
It was surprisingly easy. I thought I was in for a huge headache but the only thing I had problems with was the locale and language stuff, but that has been an issue with a lot of distros for me, Arch or not.
>>51654692
I never even used linux before trying arch. I used the evo/lution installer with an old laptop, got used to arch/linux in general and liked it so much that I use arch on my desktop and new laptop.
I installed it the real way on my desktop and I had no idea how easy it was. Pretty daunting the first time you see the instructions, but it's really simple.

I used to use arch but then i got a girlfriend and i went back to xubuntu
I only use distros that actually work and do what they are supposed to do, like debian, the ubuntu family and fedora
>>51654676
Even latest ubuntu has a kernel version >= 4.0
Iiii have an Arch install in virtualbox. It's kinda half set-up. Trying to learn systemd off it without fucking up my main install (Ubuntu + gnome flashback + openbox).
>>51655109
Yep.$ uname -a

>arch is hard
You, fucking retards, make "installing arch" seem like the most complex thing in life. As if someone installs arch, makes him an elite linux guru or something.
>>51655234
Shhh dont wake the tards
Manjaro is the best distro. Easy install, just werks and pacman+aur. Anyone?
>>51655357
No.
>>51655367
good argument buddy :^)
>>51655234
They had a great graphic installer.
Then they adopted Lennart to take over everything and it went to shit.
I miss my rc.conf.
>>51655413
Ncurses installer.
>>51654608
I use arch and basically have none of these issues. I will admit I did have to write a lot of scripts getting started to do things that would normally be handled on a different distro. But I learnt a lot in the process.
>>51654629

This is why there will never be a year of the linux desktop. It's because people are put off by shit heads like you shitting up the community by acting all hipster over what OS people use.

>>51655357
If you're going to use something like that Antergos is a better choice by all means since it actually uses the Arch repos.
Manjaro might have access to the aur, but the rest of the repos are not the Arch ones but the dev teams own which tend to be much slower.
Of course you could also just realize that installing arch is literally a 45 minute process with detailed instructions that you would have to be an idiot not to screw up.
>>51655234
Nice font, anon.
Serious.
>>51655234
this, running and using arch isn't hard to use and maintain
if you have troubles using it might as well just be using ubuntu or even fucking windows.
I swear all those anti arch pics were just made by some macfag pissed off because he fucked up his install and cried about how only losers with too much time use it
>>51654599
its so hard to unsee that image, each time i see the arch logo i see a fat guy just belowinbetween
>>51654784
>>51654687
The only thing I don't get about this is that Arch doesn't really compile stuff. I guess you can do it with archbuild or whatsitcalled, but usually you just get binaries.
>>51656560
Maybe Arch was source based back in the day? Or the author has mixed up Arch and Gentoo...
>>51654692
It's just typical "muh distro > ur distro"
I've used arch for 5 months or so, can't stand any debian based distro due to APT and debians horrible repos/releases. Gave up trying to pull deps for ncmpcpp visualizers and went back to arch. Obviously others don't have that problem and instead run into some weird problem with xorg conf files and complain that arch is shitty, so you get these kinds of pointless threads.
>>51654599
Am I the only one who has never had a problem with Arch, besides using proprietary AMD graphics drivers?!
>>51656667
Oh i have had problems with arch many but its still the best distro in my opinion
>>51654599
>>51654687
>>51654703

I'll never get tired of those Arch mockups.

Well, I've been using Arch for about 5 years now and I'll be the first to admit that Xorg broke constantly when I used the proprietary ATI Catalyst drivers from late 2010-2012. It was also a HUGE pain in the ass to update Catalyst drivers since it's not in the official repos and I'd have to get it from the AUR... the whole process was just convoluted and messy and updating the drivers often caused settings to revert or fixed some bugs at the cost of introducing new bugs..... MOST of the issue stemmed from the fact that ATI's proprietary GPU drivers for Linux in that time period were GOD AWFUL but it really degraded the overall user-experience of using Arch for me.
I've NEVER had an issue with X breaking when running Arch on laptops using Intel graphics though.
>>51657134
>Well, I've been using Arch for about 5 years now and I'll be the first to admit that Xorg broke constantly when I used the proprietary ATI Catalyst drivers from late 2010-2012.
Yeah and that was 2010-2012, and you were not the only one. Isn't that why, like you said, they're not in the official repos? They encourage you not to use them because Arch devs are fed up with AMD's bullshit.
>>51657156
I was just pointing out where the whole "Arch breaks Xorg constantly" meme came from. Most of those cartoons making fun of Arch came from that time period.
I run Arch exclusively on both of my laptops (which have intel graphics) nowadays and don't really have much to complain about anymore. "It just werks."
>>51654806
anyone?
>>51657365
ls -a because they are 1337 because they don't use a graphical file manager
>>51657365
it's a command that lists all of the files in a directory. It's a meme because winbabbies and DE babbies think it's archaic to a) use the command line at all and b) to use it to navigate through your filesystem.
>>51657223
I use arch too but no one is going to care. Just look at all the newfags who think the housefire meme originated with AMD. They just regurgitate bullshit to fit in. Personally x has only broken once, and again due to drivers, not arch itself. But anyone who updates their drivers on linux, bleeding edge or not, has to deal with drivers fucking up x. Again, not like memesters even care.
>>51654599

Arch is actually my first Linux OS. I recently installed it on my Laptop as a secondary OS and I don't think it's that hard to use.

The fuck, why are arch users so stuck up?
>>51662522 (Checked)
It's one of the most common Arch users who
-spend hours mocking other people and their distros
-can never operate computer without breaking shit for more than a month
-know little about C and pretend being some l337 h4x0r
-pollute every thread or forums just because they want to prove they are elite

>>51662928
I've had Manjaro on my x61 for years now, it never broke once. But archfags wouldn't understand that someone needs a reliable system for Uni etc.
>>51662957
How is Manjaro more stable than Arch ?
Or how is Arch not stable when you can just not update it ?
You can't act all superior when you're a retard yourself.
>>51662928
Honestly speaking, it shames other users as well
>>51662993
Stability largely depends on the user's decisions.
>>51662928
The best way to get rid of the stereotype is to everyone install Arch and to be nice people.
>>51654599
I never understood the 'xorg.conf' meme, I never had issue with it (however, X11 updates are really buggy under arch).
>>51656697
I'm already tired of these, not because they are so bad but because they are the only ones and people keep posting the same pics over and over again.
>>51662993
Because Manjaro isn't MUH BLEEDING EDGE
And I don't need it. Why should I use the newest software if it breaks all the time?
>>51663484
>Because Manjaro isn't MUH BLEEDING EDGE
No, it's just bleeding edge, just two weeks after everyone else which makes it pointless.
>>51663484
>>51663557
Speaking of xorg, the latest update of Arch is upgrading to xorg 1.18. Manjaro team temporarily decided to still ship 1.17 until catalyst releases support for 1.18.
>>51663569
and they probably won't change their decision on this
