Also, this whole meme misses out on the whole fun factor of getting everything setup exactly how you want and all the learning along the way. The Arch user is way more likely to fix any issues that come up in the future rather than just nuking the install and starting over Windows-style like this meme suggests.
Arch user rage bait and I guess I fell for it. I use arch btw.
With the amount of time and effort used to make this dumb meme I could have installed Arch a dozen times
Author: "I use Fedora BTW"
the gentoo user is still selecting kernel options they will never need while libre office compiles
I can only laugh at the comics they need to make to justify their distros. I use my Arch machine for work and it works far better than when I was using Debian. Also I am not putting up with an ancient kernel and Nvidia drivers. I even have to setup pipewire manually on debian and on Fedora it's codecs. Both ridiculous.
the fucking fedora tip. this meme is so goddamn cringe. Also why attack vegans?
I've had more issues with most distros than arch.
Installed with archinstall and got it up and running in less than 30 minutes. Assuming you have used linux before it really shouldn't take too long, i use arch btw
Gentoo users: Signature look of superiority. (their face has frozen that way while waiting for packages to compile)
Meanwhile the OpenSUSE user is sitting contently in their bubble while everyone else is fighting.
You look like you have some biases. btw.
I heard the hype, did an install of arch ( before the installer script ) followed the wiki and was done and running gnome desktop in a very short amount of time. However, the tweaking afterward is where I prefer a currated distro. i.e. My OpenSUSE does snapshot cleanups on its own based on time or number, btrfs scrub and other jobs happen without me having to touch a command line. Sometimes I just want to get work done and not worry about the OS.
nowadays archinstall will get you up and running nice and quick. I broke my setup the other day by misusing paru. I wish arch didn't have this reputation. other than me uninstalling my own display manager it's been perfectly stable through every update since I installed it years ago. the wiki has incredible amounts of digestible information that has helped me set up anything I want. it's true that it can be more difficult than other distros, and there are some elitists. but it's a good choice for people who like to tinker.
Inaccurate. Everyone knows vegans prefer Debian.
I don't read the wiki because I can't read.
Whoever made this eons ago was a genius.
That arch laptop looks exactly like my laptop lmao
If you disable cache.nixos.org you too can have gentoo but with nixos 😏
Is the joke supposed to be that vegans can't read instructions?
"Vegan" lmfaoo
totally anecdotal.... but i've installed debian on a bunch of different machines and i've never had to "prepare additional installation media" for any weird hardware/firmware/drivers.... i just installed the base system and connected ethernet if any non-free stuff is needed. has anyone ever come across an ethernet interface that didn't work out of the box? maybe it didn't work 100%, but at least good enough to download the proper firmware to fix?
Fake. What about installing the GPU drivers?
I am a vegan with a manbun, but I use Fedora.
I've had Ubuntu and derivative distros break on me infinitely more times than I've ever had Arch or its derivatives break at all.
Usually going from one major update of *buntu/Pop based distro to another.
Using Endeavour ATM, but tempted to give NixOS a crack and see what it's like...
I started installing it about a year and a half ago and I think it's still not finished. The best distro is the one you can using during installation.
I use cloister by the way.
It's like arch but you reinstall it at least 10 times in a row before you get anywhere.
