Im boxing with fedora at the moment myself. I hate that arch was easier.
Ubuntu frustrates me more than arch.
Arch has glorious documentation. That is literally the only thing that blows me away about it.
Arch wiki is so good it’s useful even when you’re not on Arch
I fall pretty squarely into the script kiddie category compared to a lot of people on here and arch wikis has been an incredibly valuable resource.
“I want to do X like Y. Surely someone much of done this by now.” Arch wiki: “funny you should mention that. Here is free documentation that is pretty up to date, has lots of detail and examples, but don’t drown you.”
Seriously, I look at red hat and debian documentation and little ADHD brain hamster just strokes the fuck out on his wheel. Arch wiki is a comfortable ride. It’s just…digestible if that makes any sense.
I like the way packages are made. Such a simple and elegant system
Dude I just discovered fedoras dnf rollback feature and I about shit myself.
what's your issues with fedora? every time in installed it, i had no problems.
I feel this. I had to give up on connecting to my home wifi on windows server edition.
This was right after I daily drove openbsd for 2 months. I was connecting to PEAP encrypted networks using wpa_supplicant and now I couldn't connect to my phone's hotspot.
I left Fedora!
Im leaning into it because arch linux on arm stuff is a joke compared to the x86 mainstream stuff. Fedora treats ARM as an equal.
Fedora was also my first choice, but the allure of the AUR was too strong at the time and I didn't last a month...
Selinux makes me homicidal and fedora always seems to be choking on….something. But it’s the most updated stable thing I can find.
The AUR is irresponsible. Put a wili entry showing how to did something. Don’t just write a script and post it that you KNOW nobody is actually going to comb over.
