When you hear the word "Arch Linux", what comes to mind?
>>52056558
AUR, the only thing the distro has over others.
Hackers :^)
>>52056558
Pacman and AUR. The only thing that makes Arch something to consider. It's a pain in the ass, but has sweet package management and repositories.

It's actually fast but rickety package management and sparse repositories compensated for by an insecure build system, but the ease of installation compared to other DIY distros make it a fine education tool. Like a graded reader.

>>52059875
Arch repositories aren't sparse. They have less packages but a bunch of things are combined into a single package as well.
I've hardly ever encountered any packages that I needed that were not in the arch repos but were in the ubuntu ones.
I don't see how pacman is rickety either. Pacman has only overwritten one of my configs once in 3 years of using Arch on 3 devices, whereas APT has broken my shit like 3 times within 6 months of using it on one device.
Likewise I don't see what's insecure about the AUR. It's mostly just arch devs trying to push that meme because they (understandably) don't want to be held responsible. I trust TUs enough to not slip any bad shit into there, and it's not like you can't read the PKGbuilds either. I mean of course the official repos are more secure but the AUR is less insecure than adding third party repos in ubuntu, for example.
>>52059939
The meme is real, after more than a few reboot/updates, random shit would quit working. SDDM, PulseAudio, Xorg, etc. Arch is a cool idea, but bad for everyday use.

Yes, The Hunger Games does have characters, a setting, a basic plot, but it's just not good. You'll have to move onto other books eventually.

Here's your reply.
Honestly though, why would you make a bunch of claims and then not even bother to try and defend them when questioned. I'm actually curious on your opinions, you know.
>>52059986
I use it on my laptop and shut that down every day. I also update it everyday and haven't had a single problem with xorg since systemd finally got properly implemented on the distro. It's not 2010 anymore.

My sister. She's been using arch since she was 16 & has a superiority complex/holier than thou attitude because of it. And yet I get 3x more work done than her on my "entry-level" Ubuntu laptop.
>>52056948
It is for that reason that you should tell everyone you use Arch!
>>52060043
I used Arch Linux when I was 16 years of age. Then I tried Gentoo. I used that Gentoo installation to grab an image of the latest stock Ubuntu and haven't looked back since. It's not worth it.

Well, when I hear the WORDS "Arch Linux" I think about the Linux distribution that goes by that name. But whenever I see someone fuck up their spelling and I know it's not a typo then I basically feel bad for the future or mankind because stupid fucking people will be the death of us all.

What to use if I want good support and rolling releases and is not arch?
>>52066349
Debian Sid.
>>52066349
probably opensuse tumbleweed.
debian is a meme because when there's another release around the corner, testing branch is frozen and everyone who develops for debian focuses on moving testing into stable branch so noone works on sid. In this time it gets horribly outdated
>>52056558
Oh man pacman broke xorg again!!!
>>52066349
Why rolling release?
>>52066473
Can't be arsed to reinstall.
>>52066498
That's not what rolling release is. Rolling release just releases packages as they're released. You don't have to reinstall non-rolling release distros, just upgrade them every month or so.
Stop bullying Arch!
>>52056610
This.
It's the only reason why I haven't swtiched back to debian.

>the autistic way he highlighted text
I don't understand the hate for Arch. It has a good wiki, it has the AUR, and it only has what I want it to have, since it comes with nothing.
Maybe it's because I'm just used to it, and don't go around spewing the fact that I use it. I don't see a problem with it.
>>52066658
I don't understand it either.
Can an anon please give a good explanation besides:

>>52058556
long ass? how so?
took me about 10 minutes to install a base system and another 30 minutes to install and configure DE/networking/etc
>>52056558
Arch is for Autism.
What comes to mind is an OS that's incredible for long stretches of time; has all the packages I want and is clean and stable and fast and then one day there's a message on archlinux.org that tells you the next time you run -Syu your system will be irrevocably fucked and there's nothing you can do about it
So you think you hate Arch because its a stupid piece of shit and fuck the devs because those assholes don't give a single fuck about the users or stability and its a miracle that it actually works as well as it does 99% of the time and so you say FUCK ARCH and pin your repos to a date before the breaking system upgrade, running an insecure and outdated system silently wondering why the fuck they can't just figure out a way to make things work without breaking
Then you realize you're a bitch and you can't afford a mac for OSX and using windows is like jumping into a sewage tank and there's literally nowhere else to go because as bad as Arch is its the best in the Linux world
Fuck everything
>>52056558
>Why grub? Why systemd-boot? Why just one partition for everything? Why do all the base setup after rebooting and not before, leaving you with a possibly unbootable system? Why not configure the initcpio, leading to the same problems? Why dhcpcd and not systemd-networkd? Why a swap file, and why a 2GB one? Why reboot after uncommenting multilib? Why use it in the first place? Why use sudo? Why install a useless VESA driver and set yourself up for installation conflicts by installing Mesa? Why xterm? Why LightDM? Why another reboot? Why archlinuxfr? Why yaourt? Why infinality? Why zsh? What the fuck is prezto? How do you "make sure your terminal supports unicode"?

We've probably been over this about a thousand times but the quantum diy-hacker / infographic state is so entertaining.
>u know how ur computer *actually* works but use an infographic so you just mindlessly cuntpaste commands so ur not like ubuntu which certainly does the same thing so ur an overnight linux expert by reading the wiki which is not this infographic which is what its from and fuck it just figure it out anyway rtfm
and then the whole board disagrees with everything in it
I have never seen anything, in any field, so indecisive, maybe some gun control arguments. Could the whole thing, perhaps, just maybe be an elaborate ruse to make newbies disinterested so they can pretend to have a secret club?
