Yeah but AUR is so fucking sexy
A fucking sexy security hazard.
the fucking fedora tip. this meme is so goddamn cringe. Also why attack vegans?
I am a vegan with a manbun, but I use Fedora.
I installed Arch once & it took less than 30mins to complete. Still using the same install, as it has literally never broken. This comic literally applies to those people who use Arch incorrectly…
About the same. Been using my arch install with KDE for about 5 years with no major problems at all. I use systemd boot so I’ve not had the issue with grub as other people seem to have had.
I’ve had Ubuntu and derivative distros break on me infinitely more times than I’ve ever had Arch or its derivatives break at all.
Usually going from one major update of *buntu/Pop based distro to another.
Using Endeavour ATM, but tempted to give NixOS a crack and see what it’s like…
the gentoo user is still selecting kernel options they will never need while libre office compiles
Enuf with the Arch hate already…
Fedora and Debian are cool,
but Arch is too,
their Wiki is amazing and so is the AUR.And no I don’t use Arch btw,
I use Manjaro,
which has suited me fine for years now.Sad that this is neither a haiku nor a poem. But I still agree.
Enough with the Arch hate, already!
Arch admins just want code sans spaghetti!
Debian, Fedora, guess they can be cool…
But us Arch users don’t need no ‘installer tool’We all know the Arch wiki’s amazin’,
(but at the risk of some minor noob hazin’)
If you can’t get far with their great AUR
Then Mint might be more where you areNow as much as it pains me to say
There’s no Arch on my box, by the way
Manjaro’s OS has been my fave for years
(To be honest Arch leaves many in tears)
You have a problem with veganism?
I’ve used all these distros and I’ve never contributed shit lol. Love that shirt though… Is the v supposed to be like the vim logo? Or maybe upside down arch.
Of all the distros I’ve hopped over the last 25 years, the most self destructive one has to have been Ubuntu.
I use NixOS btw
Meanwhile in Gentoo: Still compiling.
Oh wait: binpkgs, update is done and I don’t have look at NixOS anymore. [=
same here! haven’t borked my system once since using nixOS
Lucky you, straight up doesn’t work on my new laptop.
Tried the unstable installer?
Installation worked, it was just the usual Nvidia stuff and this time it was way above my skills.
Ahh man gotta love NVIDIA. Most of my machines have an NVIDIA GPU, but I’ve had only a few minor issues along the way. Mostly from me not reading things correctly.
Saw issues with flickering electron applications, sleep somehow running the GPU until my battery was drained, hyprland just saying not today and random crashes here and there.
Systems are pretty stable now, laptop runs fine in hybrid mode (AMD / NVIDIA) and I removed almost all electron applications.
I’ve found if I can’t figure something out I’ll start a new module for another package. But I guess if it’s something “mission critical” in your case a GPU then it’s pretty hard to do much else.
Oh I have, but then I just roll back.
Gentoo users: Signature look of superiority. (their face has frozen that way while waiting for packages to compile)
Why the insult at vegans? Is it 2015 again?
What has changed significantly since 2015?
Many aspects of our society and culture including the fact that in the early teens random jokes at vegan’s expense were seen as normal rather than a fuck move
Lol. That hasn’t changed.
Yes it has, get used to it.
oh look. it’s here to tell us it’s vegan.
No, here to tell you to go vegan. Your gluttony doesn’t justify what’s done to so many animals.
And you wonder why jokes come at your expense.
If you disable cache.nixos.org you too can have gentoo but with nixos 😏
Also, this whole meme misses out on the whole fun factor of getting everything setup exactly how you want and all the learning along the way. The Arch user is way more likely to fix any issues that come up in the future rather than just nuking the install and starting over Windows-style like this meme suggests.
Arch user rage bait and I guess I fell for it. I use arch btw.
If you actually want to use your machine, keeping the machine from nuking itself shouldn’t be a hobby on its own. I need a reliable platform to work on, not a minefield on a fault line.
Don’t know what you’ve been using but I sure wouldn’t describe Arch as any of that. Once things are setup, I’ve extremely rarely run into issues that I didn’t cause myself.
“That I didn’t cause myself” is basically self-gaslighting. Using a system in exactly the way it’s supposed to be used shouldn’t cause any issues. Regular updates shouldn’t cause issues. Sure, it can happen, but it shouldn’t be the norm.
Recognizing your own mistakes is self-gaslighting now? FFS. And making a mistake sure is not “using a system in exactly the way it’s supposed to be used.”
Sometimes we make mistakes, it’s okay. If I wanted my OS to coddle me I wouldn’t be using Linux.
Doing an update is not a mistake.
Again, this is exactly how the system is supposed to be used. You run whatever the update command is on your system occasionally. If that regularly breaks your system, the OS is not a stable platform. That might have its reasons, but it doesn’t change the facts.
It’s not a fact that updates regularly break the system. I’ve been using Arch for like 20 years now and I can count the amount of times that’s happened to me on one hand. I can do the same for CentOS and other distros as well.
It also wasn’t what I was referring to when I said I broke my shit by a mistake so you’re sticking words in my mouth.
Then you either have very large hands or don’t update that much. When I did use Arch for a while, Pacman often enough broke some stuff.
It also wasn’t what I was referring to when I said I broke my shit by a mistake so you’re sticking words in my mouth.
No, I interpret your words in a way appropriate here. You said, that only mistakes cause errors, I said that updates caused errors, and that I don’t think updates count as mistakes. So either you think that updating is a mistake, or we have fundamentally different experiences using Arch. I’m only sticking the shit in your mouth that you left their in the first place.
Sometimes nuking and resetting up is faster than fixing the problem.
Seems more like an opportunity to learn then if that’s the case. Fixing things has almost never taken me longer than a full reinstall.
totally anecdotal… but i’ve installed debian on a bunch of different machines and i’ve never had to “prepare additional installation media” for any weird hardware/firmware/drivers… i just installed the base system and connected ethernet if any non-free stuff is needed. has anyone ever come across an ethernet interface that didn’t work out of the box? maybe it didn’t work 100%, but at least good enough to download the proper firmware to fix?
Some wifi drivers. It’s because of the Debian philosophy of never using non-free (as in speech, not beer) software.
Thats why i said you just need a few minutes on ethernet… Although i can see the problem these days with a lot of laptops shipping without ethernet ports
These days Debian ship with non-free firmware in the default installer, so laptops without ethernet isn’t a problem.
Fake. What about installing the GPU drivers?
