The arch wiki is so comprehensive, it's essentially just the linux wiki at this point.

[patmcn]

I run my nuclear power plant on AmogOS.

[tonyc]

I love how he respectfully just reminded people that search engines exist. Lmao.

[nekoill]

I for one am glad that Arch becomes easier to set up by the day. It has never been actually hard to install if you can follow simple instructions, and it just werks, so I unironically pitched it to soon to become Linux users, as Arch was my first distro, more or less.

[fawzanfawzi]

You forgot to mention Endeavor OS. It is like Arch with its official repo and systemd but it comes with very user friendly installer and it allows you to choose any desktop environment from the installer.

[abanoub]

ah yes gentoo, my favorite just works distro

[N.S.A.]

Linux Mint always works or has solutions that are easy to follow. Arch solutions to problems always brings up specific errors for me that leads to a solution that leads to another error which just spirals deeper.

[vercolit]

I love my arch setup. Arch looks complicated at first, but knowing what packages you have and choosing what you use ends up being easier for me to maintain in the long run. It's easy to just try out another DE, or even a WM, and it's pretty minimalistic. I haven't had a program that wasn't on pacman or on the aur yet.

[kevinpyro]

Manjaro and Arch are not basically the same. I thought they were at one point too, but Manjaro runs its own repos that intentionally keep packages 2 weeks behind what the mainline arch repos do for "stability" but this tends to break more things then it keeps stable. AUR packages will break OFTEN, and even if you don't use AUR packages some times updates to software expect you to be on the latest version of all software, which will break stuff.

If you want an easy to install arch distro I'd highly recommend looking at endeavor OS or Garuda Linux instead, Manjaro breaks way too often to be considered a good distro imo.

[wacesferpit]

Arch:
-> not controlled by evil corporations
-> not horribly outdated packages
-> actually has people working on it
-> good size community and a lot of resources
-> tons of packages in the standard repos + AUR
-> actually useful for day to day and not server/embedded only
-> Usable on a shitty laptop where compiling any relatively complex programs is horribly slow
-> It's not Manjaro (people should stop recommending it, it's crap, sincerely someone who used it)

>Wants a "just werks distro"
>installs arch.

[lolplayfelix-_-]

i love artix, thanks for covering my favorite distro hands-down

[stefun]

Tried Artix, Manjaro and Vanilla Arch. Though in the end I got back to ArcoLinuxB which proved to be the most stable if you like to have good looking Desktops without having to rice it all from scratch.

[BjornsTIR]

Artix really surprised me. I've been daily driving the runit version with xfce for almost three months now, and it has been one of my less complicated linux experiences.

[Eliotime]

I started to use Arch Linux five years ago. It's literally the IKEA of GNU/Linux distros and I didn't have major problems except from AUR ones.

Another stuff that I noticed is the fact that I started to use Parabola GNU/Linux-libre, the level of optimization lf that distro is sincerely insane, like Gentoo with SystemD.

[abubakrakram]

Why Linux users say that a distro just works: _"It's easy to install."_

Why normal people say that an OS just works: _"It actually runs what I want it to run."_

[dontdex]

So he's back to Arch after the gentoo meme. Can't wait for Luke's next video in the woods ranting how gentoo isnt enough.

[thecountrox]

been using artix for quite the while now (runit ofc) and the boot times are much faster on my hard drive and its much more performant than arch in my opinion due to the sheer fps difference in games ive noticed (like 140 on arch and 190-210 on artix ) im not saying its got no issues, all issues can be fixed with a bit of tinkering and yes its more minimal than arch. also the arch wiki just works on artix except init system for that i use void wiki for runit.

[Lagggerengineering]

Captain Disillusion also mentioned elitist behaviour with Blender.
Many people were upset for somebody even bringing up the idea of implementing an Undo button...

Nevermind that it wasn't implemented yet after years of development, there were people even opposed to the idea stating "if you have to use the undo button you're not skilled enough to use Blender"

Completely batsh*t stupid and I am pretty sure the same thing goes for the Arch installer.

[magicman]

As someone who is currently struggling with setting up Arch for the first time, it's good to know there's an installer.
