I use Arch... On my Steamdeck
We're so elite!

🔦 Arch docker container running on Ubuntu. 🔦
Nah, that sounds like torture. Anybody willing to have that kind of setup shouldn't be messed with, they're clearly unstable.
Yeah, I don't know why I'd run Arch containers on Ubuntu. I can already get the latest software via Snap and Docker. 🫰
I can honestly say that I ran Slackware as my daily driver for almost two years...
Never again.
Now I run easy distros. Much less stress overall.
I ran Slackware as my daily driver for almost two years
Why? ...How?
I've been running slackware as my main os since 94. I was never able to get really used to any other Linux distro and I saw them all. I run it in my home pc, in my work servers, my work notebook. Best distro ever.
In the late 90s I ditched redhats crappy package system and used slackware until I got better internet than dialup, after that I switched to Debian based. But slackware still has a star in my book!
I miss playing with Slack. It was the first distro I ever got Steam running.
Guys, why are you constantly making fun of arch. It really is a straightforward, stable and user friendly distro. The wiki is amazing and it’s very easy to find help even when you run into problems.
Oh, I use arch btw.
I wouldn't really call it stable, more just stable enough
In my 8 years of using Arch as daily driver, it has broken only couple of times for me, and usually I can find the fixes in the forums. Ubuntu on the other hand has lead to so much pain.
I got my merit badge after setting it up once. That's enough for me.
No pun intended
I use Debian btw.
yep go ahead and neg this comment Arch people
You could do a better attention seeking job than this
Subtle way to call manjaro users gay
What a vucking great social network this Lemmy is.
I clicked "subscribe" to your community or whatever the vuck it's called and for two weeks I've been looking at "Pending". Is this such a vucking fediverse achievement that I don't understand?
Now for the topic at hand. If you have to choose between Arch and Manjaro, you have to choose Arch. 100% none of you will need to thoroughly partition your hard drive, because none of you will bother moving /home to another partition on the drive. And the main difficulty will be setting up the wifi, solved by reading the man pages. Unfortunately they are without pictures, so you will have to work hard.
Manjaro has compromised itself so many times that I don't understand people who use it.
Although no, I do understand you, my little friends. Manjaro has a graphic installer.
This post was in lemmy.world which is extremely overloaded at the moment
Its a known bug. Who knew reddit will fuck up? Give it some time, it'll be much better!
Damn, subscribing might've not worked but 52 people made sure that the downvote button did
Lmao I feel personally attacked
I never used Manjaro or Arch (I am a fedora user). Can someone please explain the joke?
Manjaro is a fork of Arch with the aim to provide a good out-of-the-box experience.
Disgusting...
Arch takes a lot of manual configuration to make it work, hence providing some bragging rights about using it. Manjaro is a fork that has your typical GUI user-frienly installer that does everything for you, therefore you "proudly using arch" has no substance as you did zero work.
I wonder why I keep getting the advice to use Arch, then? Everyone on the Linux forum questions me using fedora and says arch makes more sense and is easier.
Because Manjaro isnt exactly as it seems. Sometimes it's the worst of both worlds. I wont deny that it is convenient but (Rant alert) : The idea of delay Arch packages for testing seems nice at first, until you take in the fact Manjaro will have to push some of the packages out before that period for e.g: security reasons, while some might take longer. The thing is, upstream Arch repo is designed to work together only on the packages upstream version, and as per Archwiki said, partial upgrade is highly unrecommended, and it is not uncommon to update your manjarobox and everything went smoothly, until you reboot and fallen into a dependency hell. Sometimes it can cause serious security issues. And with that in mind, the AUR also works with the assumption that you are on Arch's upstream packages, not Manjaro one, and well, dont need to tell you how it can cause problems down the line.
If you want a good convenient no "nerd" fuss distros, I recommend Pop!OS, Mint, or even Debian. If you really want to use AUR (trust me it's not as special as most expect, you generally only want to go there when you must) and really don't wanna use Arch, there's projects like Antergos, Artix,... that have much more sane approach.
I acknowledge tho that I 100% believe Manjaro users can get perfectly stable experience, and these things I mentioned had never be inside their scope. It's just you can get very similar experience with better management even in Arch-derived space, so why not go for those instead?
RIP Antergos
Long live EndeavourOS.
