    I can honestly say that I ran Slackware as my daily driver for almost two years...

    Never again.

    Now I run easy distros. Much less stress overall.

    I ran Slackware as my daily driver for almost two years

    Why? ...How?

    [–] LordTE7R1S@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    I've been running slackware as my main os since 94. I was never able to get really used to any other Linux distro and I saw them all. I run it in my home pc, in my work servers, my work notebook. Best distro ever.

    I got my merit badge after setting it up once. That's enough for me.

    [–] Magusbear@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

    Did the same. I pretty much had to redo every single step, sometimes multiple times, because I did not fully understand what I was doing. But I had a running system in the end with everything working as far as I could tell.

    Then I immediately formatted everything and installed Endeavor, because I just didn't trust myself not having done anything wrong.

    It did help with understanding though. Some things aren't as scary anymore and I understand the arch wiki much better now.

    [–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Guys, why are you constantly making fun of arch. It really is a straightforward, stable and user friendly distro. The wiki is amazing and it’s very easy to find help even when you run into problems.

    Oh, I use arch btw.

    [–] backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    I wouldn't really call it stable, more just stable enough

    [–] vixven_random@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    In my 8 years of using Arch as daily driver, it has broken only couple of times for me, and usually I can find the fixes in the forums. Ubuntu on the other hand has lead to so much pain.

    πŸ”¦ Arch docker container running on Ubuntu. πŸ”¦

    [–] phorq@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Nah, that sounds like torture. Anybody willing to have that kind of setup shouldn't be messed with, they're clearly unstable.

    [–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

    Yeah, I don't know why I'd run Arch containers on Ubuntu. I can already get the latest software via Snap and Docker. 🫰

    [–] vixven_random@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    You are the monster we were warned as kids!

    [–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

    I upvoted this comment. Just letting you know, in case you weren't aware that votes are public on Lemmy.

    [–] BigTed@lemmy.fmhy.ml 16 points 2 years ago

    Lmao I feel personally attacked

    [–] Puzzlehead@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

    No pun intended

    [–] FierroGamer@vlemmy.net 15 points 2 years ago

    I feel attacked

    [–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

    No, I don't use 2 weeks late Arch. To me that just defeats the point.

    I use Arch btw.

    [–] Belgdore@lemm.ee 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Long live EndeavourOS.

    [–] Clairvoidance@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago

    nah don't worry, Manjaro users will tell you they use Manjaro

    [–] lawrence@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

    I never used Manjaro or Arch (I am a fedora user). Can someone please explain the joke?

    [–] denast@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (7 children)

    Arch takes a lot of manual configuration to make it work, hence providing some bragging rights about using it. Manjaro is a fork that has your typical GUI user-frienly installer that does everything for you, therefore you "proudly using arch" has no substance as you did zero work.

    Manjaro is a fork of Arch with the aim to provide a good out-of-the-box experience.

    [–] NoSpotOfGround@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)
    [–] Mopswasser@feddit.de 6 points 2 years ago

    Yeah, what were they thinking?!

    [–] TrontheTechie@infosec.pub 9 points 2 years ago

    If arch Linux is supposed to be edgy and hard to use or install, Manjaro takes that edgy hard to use image and softens it up into a Ubuntu type distro that is based on arch but tends to run behind on updates by a little bit compared to arch.

    Basically they nerd version of Linux stolen valor.

    Manjaro Users: I could never be bothered to follow the steps for installing on the arch wiki.

    Manjaro Users When Something Breaks: Gotta go check the arch wiki & forums.

    [–] ghariksforge@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

    I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

    [–] radioactiveradio@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

    I use Arch btw........in a distrobox inside ubuntu.

    [–] loffiz@vlemmy.net 8 points 2 years ago

    I recommend Evdeavouros instead of Manjaro ;)

    [–] Sizably8826@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    I use Debian btw.

    yep go ahead and neg this comment Arch people

    What a vucking great social network this Lemmy is.

    I clicked "subscribe" to your community or whatever the vuck it's called and for two weeks I've been looking at "Pending". Is this such a vucking fediverse achievement that I don't understand?

    Now for the topic at hand. If you have to choose between Arch and Manjaro, you have to choose Arch. 100% none of you will need to thoroughly partition your hard drive, because none of you will bother moving /home to another partition on the drive. And the main difficulty will be setting up the wifi, solved by reading the man pages. Unfortunately they are without pictures, so you will have to work hard.

    Manjaro has compromised itself so many times that I don't understand people who use it.

    Although no, I do understand you, my little friends. Manjaro has a graphic installer.

    I'm an impulsive updater. I see an update, I update. Arch was able to change my plans for the day on many occasions into shiiiit I need this to work again so I can do actual work. So I compromised and installed Manjaro for edge but with less bleeding. YEAH😎

    Lol everyone knows nixos is the latest in disto high fashion

    I use Fedora btw. It'll never go out of fashion, Cos it's never been in fashion

    [–] nomadjoanne@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

    I use Arch, BTW, but also Gnome. So I am still lacking some nerd points.

    [–] cincinmasukmangkok@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Lights off: I use Arch BTW Lights on: I installed Arch using archinstall BTW
