ITT: Is Arch a Meme?

Swear to God I had an install disc made and I've hesitated for a solid week because of all the hate it gets lately. Is it shit?

Yes

I always laught that the distros that like to advertise how simple they are manage to be the most complicated and time inefficient ones

>overzealous autistic fan boys
>"you'll learn how Linux REALLY works!" When it's literally just configuring a package manager and letting scripts do the rest
>offers nothing that minimal net installs already offered for other distros don't
>muh bleeding edge packages!! when you can just install directly from the upstream source in any distro
>only reason to use it is the aur, which is full of broken and unmaintained packages and isn't monitored at all, most "packages" are just a bash script to download the package and it's install script from GitHub
>aur is far worse than Open Build Service, which actually lets you package binaries and programs for multiple distros
It's not the worst distro, but there's nothing it offers that makes it worth using over any other distros and it has the worst fucking user base.

Hating on Arch is a meme, but it's actually a solid distro. Once you get it up and running and install all the shit you want, it's just update every ~week and you're golden. I haven't encountered issues in years of use.

Whether you'll like it or not depends on what you want in a distro, but I prefer (1) the minimal install then install what I wants vs. uninstall bloat, (2) the rolling release paradigm vs. fixed releases, and (3) AUR for easily installing and updating software not in the repositories.

>I've hesitated for a solid week
On installing a fucking operating system on your computer? Jesus christ what's the big deal? Just do it or don't do it, it's not like you're going to change the whole world. It's just another generic linux distro with a better package manager than most but shittier devs and release cycle.

Been running KDE on Arch system for quite a while now.

There can be no better distro. Prove me wrong.

It's just one shitposter if you didn't know

Arch is the teenage libertarian of OS's.

Is the arch linux userbase an exaggeration or are they really that much of an autistic faggot?

Yes it's a meme. But it's a meme because it is so popular.

Due to their austitic nature, they do put out some of the most user-friendly and in-depth documentation I've ever seen.

But other than the Arch Wiki, there's not a whole lot more great to say about the OS.

It's literally the same as any other distro but with better docs and more control

>hesitated for a week
Are you 12?

Anyway, if you like operating systems for their own sake, you may enjoy Arch. If you just want a Linux distro that lets you be productive, let me recommend Ubuntu LTS.

arch IS MEME MEME IS PERPETUATED BY REDDITORS

YOU aren't a redditor right?

This
Hating on other distro's is a meme. Everybody uses what works well for them

Calm down, fattywhale. I'm sorry no one is taking your memes seriously

themes? looks hella sleak

Google "Dark Edgy Theme v3"

Yeah, the wiki is super great. Pic related

Jesus shit man... you are studying this guy a lot.

Are you employed?

Arch is honestly a huge timesink. If tinkering with operating systems sounds like a fun hobby to you, go for it. (Though linux from scratch, BSD, or plan9 might suit you better)

I can do things like this easily with my intellect. Having a high IQ comes with it's pros and cons. For instance, i do perfectly fine while only half paying attention to what I'm doing in Arch and other logic based subjects, but when it comes to religion i can't even begin to understand how anyone would believe a damned thing

The philosophy behind Arch is theirs to decide and that's just one page of the Wiki boasting it. Every other Wiki page is about how to do stuff in Arch. Their tutorials are straight to the point. It's literally what you want to do, then how to do it. This is unlike the Gentoo wiki which is a fucking university thesis on compiling code.

A.k.a, he's baiting you, you retard

Stock KDE theme dark breeze
Being a new fag is okay but being an vocally obnoxious cluless shitposter is not, fucknut

>he thinks the gentoo wiki is complicated

You're killing me, pajeet!

Arch wiki actually is pretty great, but that doesn't mean the distro is great. Personally I use Arch Wiki as a resource when I'm working on Ubuntu.

Oops, yeah you're right. It's not dark edgy, it's dark breeze. Thanks

arch is austimo as fuck

Here is an exerpt from the Gentoo
installation page.

Arch or Gentoo wiki is the best, would you like me to drill your ass ?
>Le edgy meme XDDDD
Go fuck yourself with eye flashing white theme faggot

JUST TELL ME WHAT TO TYPE IN THE SHELL

>would you like me to drill your ass ?

Arch turned you into a fag.

This schematic is meant to help users set up Portage.

>Fucking casual gentoo fags

Oops. Forgot picture.

>Due to their austitic nature, they do put out some of the most user-friendly and in-depth documentation I've ever seen.
thanks for the laugh

hey guys, how do I get widevine to work with chromium-snapshot-bin?

that article is just to save you from arch in case is too much for you

this faggets never read that until is too late, their feelings are hurt to the point of expressing and whinning on /g against arch
