@superkret But where is nixos?

filister ,

Under 6 😜

This is one of those correlation != causation things, hm?

It might be more a case of the “average” Arch user being more sensitive to small quirks/bugs or certain defaults. Arch is at least comparatively unbiased, which might be why these users pick Arch in the first place.

I would personally agree with where Arch is because I prefer a distribution that mostly works out of the box and already made a lot of the decisions for me that I don’t want to be bothered with. I do still customize quite a few elements to my (sometimes very specific) liking, but I also like that I don’t have to do anything when it comes to configuring my disk layout, or configuring zram, or install and configure fwupd or other packages that kind of just make sense to have.

But I don’t really see why Arch users can’t be as happy with their choice as I am with mine, unless the only reason they “use Arch btw” is that they think that’s unironically something to brag about (or peer pressure, but that shouldn’t be a thing I hope).

superkret OP ,

This is just fun with statistics. I don’t think your Linux distro has a big impact on your overall happiness in life, but of course you can order the results by any parameter you like.
Often, it’s a third factor that influences both, in this case probably age, which influences happiness and distro choice.

Even though most people don’t agree with the stats, I think it makes sense because Arch users are never satisfied with their setup. It could cause many of them to choose an average number.

MajorHavoc ,

The real data point here is that Skackware users are happy.

I suspect it’s because they’ve mastered the art of not giving a fuck.

superkret OP ,

Yeah, that’s pretty spot on.

Engywuck ,

That’s why I use Arch but avoid Firefox. Balance is the key.

@FatLegTed@piefed.social avatar

What would you recommend instead of Firefox?

Engywuck ,

I’m done recommending stuff, because my use case is not necessarily your use case. I can only tell you that Brave is the sweet spot for me, at the moment.

TheGrandNagus ,

I’m immensely sceptical of anything that comes from Lunduke.

I don’t really know what happened to him but he went kinda nuts.

pH3ra ,
@pH3ra@lemmy.ml avatar

Yeah, he was already on a weird path but after Covid he went down really hard.
I hope he will seek help and get better

Nicco Loves Linux made a pretty interesting video on him a month-ish ago. You might enjoy it if you’ve known Lunduke since when he was still nice.

Edit: Link to the video

apotheotic ,

I guess the nixos users were all too busy asking everyone if they’ve heard of nixos to answer the survey?

BTW have you heard of nixos?

Blaster_M ,

Looks like I need to consider flipping back to Debian again… it’s always beeen a Stable relationship…

TheBigBrother ,

Happily using Pop! OS, cheers!!

I use Arch! How dare you say that I am unhappy? I am frothing at my mouth! I am totally happy, can’t you see that? CAN’T YOU SEE THAT???

I’m ootl I think, what did he do?

Take a look at this.

Floshie ,

I knew it I should’ve chosen Gentoo instead of arch

Dirk ,
@Dirk@lemmy.ml avatar

I wonder if Arch makes people unhappy or if unhappy people chose Arch.

superkret OP ,

Looking at the distro/happiness graph, it’s probably an age thing.
Younger computer users are less happy.

BestBouclettes ,

That’s strange, apart from installing it, Arch is pretty painless to run if you’re not careless

Dave ,
@Dave@lemmy.nz avatar

You’re assuming that Arch causes the unhappiness. Maybe unhappy people naturally tend to use Arch, so as to avoid further pain from painful distros like Pop! OS?.

BestBouclettes ,

Oh shit, I was miserable back when I installed Arch. Dang, you might be onto something there!

astro_ray ,

So… Arch makes sad people happy…?

magic_lobster_party ,

No, that’s just bloat feelings
