Yeah thats kinda my problem with arch.... ive never found it easy to use or useful. Every actual usecase other than it being "cool" is filled by distros much more adapted. Actually want a system from scratch? Gentoo. Want to make it deployable and dependable? Nixos. Want something rock stable? Debian. Arch never had any appeal for me(focus on me here).
So that's which its called pacman
duh... it's a [pac]kage [man]ager. Why else would it be called that?
clearly not to violate any trademarks
So no relation?
ILoveCandy
echo "Defaults insults" | sudo tee -a /etc/sudoers.d/custom.conf
Defaults badpass_message="You shall not pass!"
I usually use yay but I do appreciate the whimsy in pacman
Yay uses pacman for the official repositories, so you can still use this setting if you want
I use endeavourOS because of auto installed yogurt (I am lazy)
sry, but I'm lactose intolerant. So I guess, another win for CachyOS.
is yogurt still developed? I thought it was dead a long time ago and everyone went to yay
It's been yay on endeavours for its entire existence I think.
Install arch the arch way once or twice. After that use endeavouros because I don't need to spend the time.
spend the time? on what? archinstall and go
everyone that things arch is a major time investment is ignorant
I mean that's just your choice of software installer at this point.
Endeavoros just has a GUI and installs KDE for me.
The end result for us is nearly the same thing.
I use mint because I'm too old and impatient for the more setup-heavy stuff.
I have an old laptop which I use to install various distros and play around with them. One time I tried to install arch. Like the very first step was to manually configure the network interface using some cli in some weird unknown shell environment provided by the installer. That sat there at that step untouched for a day or two, then I installed some other distro.
I can't believe nobody else has pointed out.... BRO when you set ILoveCandy also SET
color
make that shit legit. I use arch, as you can tell, btw
It is set but GIFs simply hate colors.
256 color limit is a harsh mistress
Instead of using a video format as a modern replacement, can't we just invent a better Gif format? Gif is somwhere inbetween picture and video formats. Maybe a simple container with a meta & settings file (speed & so on), similiar to comicbook?
video but with a "loops", "has controls visible" and "remove audio" setting
so it doesn't even have to be part of the video format, just muted mp4 or webm with looping and UI settings
Wait is that pacman? Had it always done that?
Its a config option. Add ILoveCandy in the options.
That's revolutionary, I need to switch back to arch in this case
What are you on now?
Fedora, my beloved
And why did you switch? Id love to know :3
Hmmm I don't remember the specifics but I think some parts of the system broke on me and I didn't have the patience to fix it. So I switched and have been very happy thus far running Fedora KDE.
Probably meth, if they are thinking of switching back to arch.
Or estrogen... But then, maybe they'd go for something like Gentoo...
Love the playfulness and the name itself...but I'm lazy and apt is shorter and quicker to type. I'm torn...
There's 'yay' which is a Pacman helper. And honestly I love typing it because it makes me happy
alias lzy="pacman -Syu"
or install yay and you don't even have to sudo (it still asks but you dont have to type it)
-yuS is easier to remember
/withdraws slowly
Apt is shorter, sure, but apt update && apt install β¦ is much longer than pacman -S β¦ so you should definitely switch
/jk
I am toyimg with the idea to switch my Thinkpad over to a new distro...so maybe I will ;)
I use Cachy for the same reason :P
it does look amazing
