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

[-] ryehypernova@lemmy.ml 30 points 3 months ago

same here! haven't borked my system once since using nixOS

[-] Outsider9042@lemmy.world 29 points 3 months ago

Oh I have, but then I just roll back.

Arch users overreacting to a meme is not helping refute it. I use arch, btw.

[-] _cnt0@sh.itjust.works 35 points 3 months ago

To every arch meme action, there is an arch user overreaction.

It's what makes it fun.

[-] treadful@lemmy.zip 83 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] agressivelyPassive@feddit.de 33 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] treadful@lemmy.zip 25 points 3 months ago

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.

And here I just spent an afternoon trying to get hibernation working on fedora unsuccessfully

[-] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 22 points 3 months ago

It's not so bad. You just have to sacrifice a goat to the waxing moon while capricorn is ascending.

[-] Rikj000@discuss.tchncs.de 57 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.de 26 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Sad that this is neither a haiku nor a poem. But I still agree.

[-] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 34 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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 are

Now 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)

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....

[-] vpklotar@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

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.

With the amount of time and effort used to make this dumb meme I could have installed Arch a dozen times

Author: "I use Fedora BTW"

[-] lurch@sh.itjust.works 35 points 3 months ago

the gentoo user is still selecting kernel options they will never need while libre office compiles

[-] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 31 points 3 months ago

I can only laugh at the comics they need to make to justify their distros. I use my Arch machine for work and it works far better than when I was using Debian. Also I am not putting up with an ancient kernel and Nvidia drivers. I even have to setup pipewire manually on debian and on Fedora it's codecs. Both ridiculous.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 30 points 3 months ago

Why the insult at vegans? Is it 2015 again?

[-] embed_me@programming.dev 9 points 3 months ago

Plus if anything Debian is more stringent regarding proprietary packages than Arch. Arch package manager will let you install open source drivers or proprietary drivers equally. If adhering to "extreme" moral values is the joke about being labelled vegan, then debian is the vegan one.

I'll repeat what I said the last time this was posted: NO f*cking way the Fedora guy got past the partition configuration step without pulling at least a few hairs out! I love Fedora, but that UI is just cursed!

[-] Trashboat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 3 months ago

Am I the only one that’s not had trouble with it? What’s the big issue?

I just had to imagine you facing the fedora installer's partitioning tool:

Installed with archinstall and got it up and running in less than 30 minutes. Assuming you have used linux before it really shouldn't take too long, i use arch btw

[-] riodoro1@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago

You have a problem with veganism?

[-] sirico@feddit.uk 38 points 3 months ago

I think it's a meme like arch users and vegans "how do you find them in a crowd? Don't worry they'll let you know"

[-] Sniatch@lemmy.world 41 points 3 months ago

In reality it's mostly the opposide tho. Like in any Social Media post about plant based food you get bunch of meat eaters who have to announce to everyone how much they enjoy eating meat.

[-] businessfish@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

they really love doing that. around when i went vegan someone i know was asking me about it and then stopped talking to me entirely because i "bring up veganism too much" after like 2 conversations that i did not initiate.

meanwhile you literally cannot escape meat eaters either talking about how much they love meat or condemning imaginary people who are trying to make them eat bugs or something and conflating that with veganism, yet vegans are annoying.

I've had more issues with most distros than arch.

Gentoo users: Signature look of superiority. (their face has frozen that way while waiting for packages to compile)

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 18 points 3 months ago

Meanwhile the OpenSUSE user is sitting contently in their bubble while everyone else is fighting.

[-] Agility0971@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago

Personally I've had more issues tweaking Debian to just work as needed then Arch

[-] BCsven@lemmy.ca 13 points 3 months ago

I heard the hype, did an install of arch ( before the installer script ) followed the wiki and was done and running gnome desktop in a very short amount of time. However, the tweaking afterward is where I prefer a currated distro. i.e. My OpenSUSE does snapshot cleanups on its own based on time or number, btrfs scrub and other jobs happen without me having to touch a command line. Sometimes I just want to get work done and not worry about the OS.

[-] zaart@lemmy.tedomum.net 12 points 3 months ago

You look like you have some biases. btw.

[-] xePBMg9@lemmynsfw.com 12 points 3 months ago

I had more troubles with Debian than arch. I have some old nvidia stuff and some non-standard sound stuff.

nowadays archinstall will get you up and running nice and quick. I broke my setup the other day by misusing paru. I wish arch didn't have this reputation. other than me uninstalling my own display manager it's been perfectly stable through every update since I installed it years ago. the wiki has incredible amounts of digestible information that has helped me set up anything I want. it's true that it can be more difficult than other distros, and there are some elitists. but it's a good choice for people who like to tinker.

[-] FlorianSimon@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 months ago

The archwiki is a great Linux resource, even for non-arch folks!

Inaccurate. Everyone knows vegans prefer Debian.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

I don't read the wiki because I can't read.

That arch laptop looks exactly like my laptop lmao

Whoever made this eons ago was a genius.
