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 am a vegan with a manbun, but I use Fedora.

recapitated ,

Is the joke supposed to be that vegans can’t read instructions?

MilitantVegan ,

Inaccurate. Everyone knows vegans prefer Debian.

Harbinger01173430 ,

Fake. What about installing the GPU drivers?

onlinepersona ,

If you disable cache.nixos.org you too can have gentoo but with nixos 😏

the fucking fedora tip. this meme is so goddamn cringe. Also why attack vegans?

captainlezbian ,

Why the insult at vegans? Is it 2015 again?

schnurrito ,

What has changed significantly since 2015?

captainlezbian ,

Many aspects of our society and culture including the fact that in the early teens random jokes at vegan’s expense were seen as normal rather than a fuck move

John_McMurray ,

Lol. That hasn’t changed.

MilitantVegan ,

Yes it has, get used to it.

John_McMurray ,

oh look. it’s here to tell us it’s vegan.

MilitantVegan ,

No, here to tell you to go vegan. Your gluttony doesn’t justify what’s done to so many animals.

John_McMurray ,

And you wonder why jokes come at your expense.

MilitantVegan ,

You should be wondering why your cholesterol is so high.

John_McMurray ,

It’s from all the animals I kill, skin. butcher and eat to spite you

MilitantVegan ,

Does it make you feel strong and masculine to harm beings who are smaller and helpless against you?

It’s a little silly to look at a whole nearly 10 years and not recognize culture has changed significantly, but here’s an example considering the other reply failed to produce one:

Merely 1 year before, the internet was roiled by absolute massive drama that was basically masterminded by proto-incels upset that women were in the video game industry. They were extremely successful in framing a jilted ex’s story as somehow a question of ethics. It was not only impressive how seriously they were taken, but some aspects were just unquestioned as just “how the internet was” like making depictions of these public figures being beaten to a bloody pulp, when nowadays the kids have been having to make euphemisms for implying someone dying in any way to get around censors. It even spilled over into 2015, which is why I can even use it as an example for that year.

In comparison, Gamergate 2 happened a few weeks ago. Its likely not many people here will even realize that even happened, and those that do recognize it was a whimpering yelp at best compared to the OG.

schnurrito ,

Ah true, censorship really wasn’t quite as bad in 2015 yet, point taken

stockRot ,

That’s your takeaway?

Plus if anything Debian is more stringent regarding proprietary packages than Arch. Arch package manager will let you install open source drivers or proprietary drivers equally. If adhering to “extreme” moral values is the joke about being labelled vegan, then debian is the vegan one.

I installed Arch once & it took less than 30mins to complete. Still using the same install, as it has literally never broken. This comic literally applies to those people who use Arch incorrectly…

vpklotar ,

About the same. Been using my arch install with KDE for about 5 years with no major problems at all. I use systemd boot so I’ve not had the issue with grub as other people seem to have had.

furycd001 ,
@furycd001@lemmy.ml avatar

I’ve actually been meaning to give systemd boot a try. Been using grub just fine though & I’ve never actually had any problems with it…

burgersc12 ,

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

redempt ,

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.

FlorianSimon ,

The archwiki is a great Linux resource, even for non-arch folks!

UltraBlack ,

As an arch user myself, I have to agree. This is eerily true. I love and hate arch for what it is. Just don’t leave your laptop in the closet without updating it every few months. It’s pretty certain that you have to reinstall arch if you wait too long.

furycd001 ,
@furycd001@lemmy.ml avatar

This is how not to use Arch… Update at least once a month, or if not maybe at least twice a month. If you can’t handle the updates on Arch then consider switching to something like Debian…

UltraBlack ,

It’s not like I cannot handle the updates. I really love arch for its flexibility, and with that come bleeding edge updates. Fedora is the next best thing but I’m definitely not as experienced there and it’s quite often lacking packages that arch does provide, either via its mirrors or the AUR

“Guys, Arch isn’t unstable, you just can’t handle Arch if you don’t treat it a specific way”

furycd001 ,
@furycd001@lemmy.ml avatar

All Linux distros are kinda the same really.

  • Use them incorrectly & they’ll break…
  • Use them correctly & they’ll just work…
HKayn ,
@HKayn@dormi.zone avatar

By that logic, is not updating for several months incorrect behaviour?

If so, that would be quite problematic, since even other rolling distros like Tumbleweed don’t have this problem.

havokdj ,

That arch laptop looks exactly like my laptop lmao

Holzkohlen ,

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.

Meanwhile the OpenSUSE user is sitting contently in their bubble while everyone else is fighting.
