Arch wasn't my first distro but it was my first daily driver. Found it easier than both mint and Ubuntu personally.
Arch is great, but I'm too lazy to learn how to set it up. Once it's running I think Arch is amazing. I just use Garuda Linux and love it. The Arch wiki is an amazing ressource.
Is this from 2010?
archinstall
This is more or less my experience with it. My noob-ass just can't handle even EndeavorOS.
Only people with time to lose use Arch.
i disagree, aur save big time
Once you have distrobox set up with an arch container, you have access to the aur no matter what distro ypu're running.
"i use "
sets up arch inside some other distro just for aur
run aur program inside arch
"i use "
Normally I have the valet bring the PC around but I let him go early today 'cause it's his birthday.
Basically, most of the points there fall into some of 3 categories:
Use endeavour if you're new
I've used Ubuntu for many years, it is a good start for beginners. Although my new recommendations is Mint.
Don't know what people have? The last time wifi didnt work out of the box for me was like 2010
The one and only time I said "oh hell naw" to a distro install. Mid install.
Currently on second day of troubleshooting installation. (Hopefully) 5 days to go till I finally get to boot
I'm wondering why "I use Funtoo btw" didn't become a meme, and arch did. Gentoo is objectively better at letting the user customise everything compared to arch
I'm pretty sure it's because less people use it. They make fun of Gentoo taking longer to compile stuff on install/update, but that's pretty fast nowadays. What really takes up time is making all the choices. I remember hours of selecting obscure kernel options and choosing use flags "what is ncurses? Do i need ncurses? What is sdl? Do i need sdl? ..." I mostly use Ubuntu now, because I got no more time for that.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
