At least read the updated post body.
Arch users like to feel smart for making their own life hard. pacman somehow managed to create an interface even less intuitive than APT and people act like it's a god-given gift.
Yes this is ragebait feel free to bite
You know that there is an easier way to use pacman? Right??
Pacman --upgrade/--sync/--remove/etc.
Idk man, how about pacman install. Why are core functionalities behind flags. And what does syncing have to do with installing a package. It just don't sit right with me
Sync with the repo, no?
pacman -Syuuuuu
Suck it, mirrors.
One of the unexpected boons of using Ubuntu is that there are fewer zealots. If I say it sucks, nobody gets offended. Actually, I think more people get offended if you say that Ubuntu doesn't suck.
I'm offended that you suggested that Ubuntu may or may not suck
The great thing about debian is that I get to be elitest because I'm using a main branch distro AND I get all the handholding, begging for help the Ubuntu and Mint guys wrote online when suffering the same stupid noob shit I'm going through.
EDIT : Because you know, KDE has really poor options support so I'm constantly digging around to change basic configs /s
EDIT 2 : I'm keeping that typo, it makes me seem extra stupid
Accurate
I might be biased but there could simply be some degree of objective assessment involved...

oh yeah, I enabled that too. it's peak(man)
yay
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade
may peace be upon thee
Paru ?
Four letters? Ew...
Well... let me explain what this wrapper does...
I use yay, btw.
Can someone help explain the meme? I know what pacman -Syu does (I use arch btw) but I actually don't know why this would be a meme.
"Arch isn't a difficult distro! All you need to do is run pacman -Syu now and then! Even my grandma could handle it!"
(Which is true until something goes wrong and now you're way more on the hook to un-fuck the system than just about anything that could ever go wrong on a Debian or Fedora based distro)
Eh. Admittedly, my experience with non-rolling distros is old, but I'd rather take "something minor breaks every couple weeks" over "I tried upgrading the system and now I can't even get working shell commands if I chroot over from a live USB".
Admittedly, that was when I tried upgrading to Fedora Core 5 (or was it upgrading from there?), so ancient history.
It is beautiful how fedora seamlessly updates now. Can not say the same about Debian. In my current fedora system I once in a while get a notification that a new version is available, I go check the changes in the new release, I press a button in a GUI interface and the upgrade begins. Reboot and everything works.
Ah I gotcha. People are saying it will fix everything.
I actually do use Arch, I played with distros for years and settled on Manjaro for a while. I'm rethinking that choice since they let their certs expire for the second time....
Second? No, no, no, ... They're way past that number.
Now there are three of them!

No.
Jjk fan? Baseball, huh?
arch users hate it when you use gui for some reason
I'm currently an Ubuntu user, and the thought of using a GUI for package management is so foreign to me.
Bc GUI is bloat ofc. And then you have to use the mouse, the greatest of workflow antipatterns!
Yes, but have you heard about the good things pacman -Syu can do for you?
for (int I = 0; I < 12; I++) println("pacman");
10 pacman
20 GOTO 10

Too many pacmans :(
You take that back
I don't need that many pacmans. Just throw them away.
You're not even a pacman. You're kolobok.
Poor Kiko.
What is kiko doing there?
Wakka wakka wakka
InB4 unresolvable dependency
Can't install Package A because Package B depends on it. Can't upgrade Package B because it requires the new version of Package A.
-Rdd
oh look, it's Tyres! It must be Shaun of the Dead
Pacman supremacy
I use arch btw
Portage supremacy
I use Gentoo btw.
Fuck that feels weird to say, good thing i quit using arch :3
