Why would one unuse Arch btw?

[-] sxan@midwest.social 127 points 3 months ago

Arch is only the larval stage. When a Linuxite consumes enough CLI, they metamorphose into one of two adult forms: a Void user, or a NixOS user. As these two adult forms are incompatible, this is a rare case of species divergence within a life cycle. Even more oddly, like the axolotl, many Arch users never leave the larval stage, and continue living comfortably in their ecological niche.

Wow, this is so well explained, I'm making it my personal copypasta!

Switching to nixos?

[-] drmoose@lemmy.world 45 points 3 months ago

As someone who switched to nixos - eh. So much hacking to make dev stuff work really kills the magic that nixos is supposed to be :|

[-] steersman2484@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yeah, it is a lot of initial work, but once you got your shell.nix or flake.nix in place it is really nice, to not have to deal with different dependencies and versions in different projects.

But you can also archive the same on any distro with the nix package manager.

except i want my computer to function for my needs without "a lot of initial work"

[-] tatterdemalion@programming.dev 11 points 3 months ago

It's an investment for the next time you install on a new dev machine. After install, I will literally run a single command to return to the exact state of my dev environment.

We get it, you used arch. You don’t need to write a thousand words telling us.

But the Wiki is soooo nice! And have you seen AUR!

I used to run Arch, btw

[-] Zink@programming.dev 40 points 3 months ago

I use mint, btw.

(…Not really but it fits the joke the best. I have used it and it’s an excellent distro whether you are a beginner or just want something stable and full featured. )

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 30 points 3 months ago

Mint is such a pragmatic distro. Honestly I admire people who are just happy with their Mint and don't feel the need to distro hop to ever more esoteric package ecosystems just to feel alive

Yeah, it's obvious a jealous Manjaro user stole that dude's sticker...

Edit: almost forgot... I use arch btw...

[-] Neon@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

I use NixOS btw

[-] jaykay@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 months ago

No no, that’s ours, find your own

[-] sayitghoul@lemmy.world 26 points 3 months ago

I don't see what the problem is with Arch Linux and why it gets so much flak. I am not a Linux expert by any measure, but I use EndeavourOS and find it really use to use (don't ask me to install from scratch). Its extremely stable and I like the fact that it gets updated constantly.

The only other distro I really liked is MX Linux. My main gripe was that I don't want to reinstall every so many years. I want to set up an OS and just use it without worrying about it being a temporary thing. But maybe I'll change my mind in the future.

I'm not for or against any distro really, maybe except Ubuntu and its bloat. I just use what best suits me, which is the whole point of all the different distros.

[-] Communist@lemmy.ml 22 points 3 months ago

Manjaro is truly the worst distro of all time and probably helps give arch a bad name

I've used arch on one machine now, am a total noob to it, and I really like it. I see what people are raving about and I see no reason to shit on it. I don't really care if 6 years ago some people were annoying about it

I couldn't figure out how to make the wifi on my Debian machine reliable so I replaced the default wifi manager front-end and backend with iwctl, the same thing Arch uses by default. It seems to be working but now I have an unholy abomination of Debian spliced with Arch DNA.

[-] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 21 points 3 months ago

Every distro is an unholy abomination made by plugging the maintainers' favorite parts together

[-] AstroLightz@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago

A simple fix is to replace the rest of Debian with Arch.

I was asked what I think of the distro "Arch btw" since everyone recommends it. Gold.

[-] anarchy79@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

What dist to you use btw?

[-] linearchaos@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

NixOS, it has a lot of the same pain points as Arch, even steeper learning curve for installation and configuration. And lose support for even more software titles.

If it's not 1995 slackware difficult I don't want it.
