Arch Linux Slander

Made an Arch Linux slander featuring the Arch Linux community, Pacman package manager, Manjaro, EndeavourOS and more!

[CharityApple]

Soooo... You're saying Arch users spend eight weekends installing an OS, another five eternities customizing their setup and OS rice, then start acting full of themselves before becoming ignorant and removing chains of packages all the way down to the system kernel before inevitably destroying everything to do it all again?

Gentoo users: arch is for children
Also gentoo users: recompile kernel every month

Just the entertainment I needed to watch today after accidentally breaking my system today.

[jamesschmames]

I'm an arch user and I love this.

selfbreaking grub hits right in the feels

1:08 ubuntu users: "Yes, do as I say!"

[Croustibite]

Yes, I do partake in the usage of the Arch Linux distribution.

The best part about arch is when you fix the bug you just fixed yesterday. Every day.

1:13 is pretty relatable. After totally screwing up my computer by changing the default version of python, I decided that removing Python and then reinstalling it was the logical solution. That... did not end well.

update is an alias for sudo pacman -Syu
you got me there

1:00 very true, have not had any issues since moving to EndeavourOS. Almost like holding back packages for a little while is not the same as being stable.

Funny thing is, I went from Ubuntu to Arch after Ubuntu self-broke hard after upgrading from 20.04 LTS to 22.04 LTS. Sure, the inicial setup on Arch was annoying and it took some time to figure out everything I expected to find in a base install that was missing, but after the first week or two, it's been an almost painless experience, much better than the constant pain I had with Ubuntu, even after restoring it, having Firefox perform so badly and take forever to update using snap, I just didn't want to use Ubuntu anymore.

That said, I did use Gentoo for about 8 years before switching back to Debian, then trying Ubuntu, I found Arch much easier to use and harder to break that Gentoo. Still haven't seen grub break or get a softlock due to some GPU driver bug (funny, again, that's a problem that Ubuntu gave me a few times). The only issue I had was suspend to RAM becoming unreliable lately, most of the times it works, but some other times it just reboots when I open my laptop again.

I'm going to take a guess here and say that most of that breakage people seem to complain about is due to excessive ricing. Gentoo was notoriously bad with this, screwing too much make.conf and USE flags was a sure way to end up with an unstable system, having a bunch of overlays is a kind of tell I don't want to even imagine.

The one about "useless package" is more about all distros that use apt. Destroyed my system countless of times. So I switched to Arch)

[stoneoflight]

Just installed neofetch and I must say, I see why it's ran so much. That ASCII art is fly.

Meanwhile me, a Windows 10 user, not understanding a single thing in this video but still watching it to the end because of the goofy music

[doooouge]

This was pretty accurate when I started using Arch, but now after 5 years I find it way easier to use than Ubuntu. I tried setting up Ubuntu for my mom and I broke it when trying to update packages. Ubuntu always seems to break easier than Arch for me. In the end, all that matters is that you get used to whatever you like

[EverRusting]

That domino happened to me on Ubuntu I think when I removed clipboard manager, it removed up all the way to xorg and graphics drivers because clipboard manager was a part of gnome-desktop and everything else was a part of that. The last bit might be inaccurate.

[AngeredKabar]

I pine for the days of yore, Slackware in the 2.4 kernel era. Where I would randomly start deleting files as root to see what failed first.

Bruh endeavour is on arch, so i use arch (technically) btw

Edit: im compiling gentoo as we speak
