Arch = poop

rolling release distro like arch is actually worse for custimization because you constantly have to recompile shit every week to keep up; it actually pidgeon holes you to use whatever packages it provides / on the aur by psychologically torturing you

like making you spend 8 hours compiling gcc63 and firefoxgtk2 just so YOU DONT HAV ETO USE THE STUPID GTK3 FILEPICKER

every single thing you try and change just commits suicide two weeks laters; using arch is torture

have fun fixing your fonts every month
only an autistic retard or a normie who only uses official packages would ever use this distro

Been on Linux exclusively for almost a decade, have yet to *have* to compile. Did occasionally to get a bleeding edge mplayer, but not at all recently.

so what should we try else? Gentoo?

obviously you fit into the normie use case then
might as well ubuntu; why do you need to be on a rolling release distro theres zero point ever

macOS doesn't have those problems

...

sorry, I don't have this problem

casual distro desu

t. someone who's never used arch

I WISH

Because it doesn't allow customization at all.

your dumb

OpenSUSE with KDE Plasma doesn't have this problem.

Not an argument.

your not a argument

what are you even trying to say?

he might as well use Ubuntu because he's not compiling his software manually in Arch? I don't get it

what please try and keep up

Mesa 17 was a pretty fucking good reason

learn how to type and get your train of thought straight

This is why women will never succeed in technology.

>custimization

stopped reading therr

if you're using programs not in the official packages or aur then they break all the time and you have to constantly recompile them every few weeks to keep up with the rolling release system

so ironically its better to use debian or ubuntu or something if you actually want to do anything at all how you want it instead of being a normie and using approved packages

For real, install gentoo/funtoo/Source Mage.

Nice try faggot

Arch is a binary distro, jockamette: nothing gets compiled when you upgrade.

you guys are so dumb and missing the point omg

find me a binary of firefox-esr-gtk2
oh wait u cant
it takes 9 hours to compile along with its dumb dependencies

it takes like 30 minutes if you don't use a laptop, just borrow someones desktop and copy the finished binary package to your laptop

wtf I love arch now
just find someone with a super computer cluster who can compile gcc63 and firefox in 30 minutes hahaha


what a joke

you're trying too hard lad, this is on an average ~6 year old CPU

YOU CAN'T HIDE WHAT'S INSIDE

BUT ITS BLEEDING EDGE

This shit sounds worse than Windows

Awful thread.

who is dis mayo empress

if you are recompliing the same files can't you just use a .Bat file to do it for you.
the .Bat format in windows and Dos was a program that can do repeditive code tasks in a few seconds.
Mircosoft stopped using .Bat files as the mainstay after windows 3.1. but its still a option on text based OS's like Lunix ( btw this is nothing to do with GNU)

Linux kernal should support it or somthing like it.

Contuining.

as a Old dos user
I often hat to set up and add in drivers on start up for all my devices and set up updates and installs at the termainal
the whole code was 1300 charaters and so i made a .Bat for execute all the operations every time i started the system.
the .Bat was called.
SETOS.Bat
back then all the IRQ and DMA addresses had to be set up manually and all drivers had to be set manually.

thank fuck that jumpers are few and far between these days.

yeah its weird linux stil doesnt have anything like this

Odd indeed.
maybe a modded patch could fix that issue.

I know this is bait, but write a bash script.

You really should just install gentoo if you care this much.

my what?

your wasting you're time, im a native speaker and im very good at grammer

Native? Wow I never met Indian before. Hello friend

this thread is great

hehe

Why would you want to use deprecated software versions? Sounds stupid. Anyway, there's gtk2 version in AUR: aur.archlinux.org/packages/firefox-esr-gtk2/

>Sounds stupid. Anyway, there's gtk2 version in AUR: aur.archlinux.org/packages/firefox-esr-gtk2/
thats source based retard

Well, no one can help you then. Try to stop using outdated software.

I liek turtles

wow arch sure is great for customization hehe

Use the binaries, like if you read the whole code you're compiling,
>>>#yolo

>Use the binaries, like if you read the whole code you're compiling,
what kind of normie software are you using that has binaries for it

So good it's not the only distribution.

what?

Arch is designed for binary packages.
If you don't want to install binary packages use Gentoo, Funtoo, or Source Mage.
Either that or if you want binaries for your esoteric software go Ubuntu and pray it is either in the apt repos or there is a ppa.
Or you can enjoy the amazing experience that is Slackware and install all your software without a package manager.

tell me more about slackware

manual dependency management
if that doesn't sound freaking awful to you then you probably have autism

Without a package manager you have to deal with dependency hell on your own. You may or may not have to compile, it depends on who releases the software.
Updating your machine will be a nightmare, but hopefully you won't have to since Slackware is pretty stable.

Arch Autism Language Demystified

>A camera and entire circlejerk team was stationed outside the basement. The following is what we learned

"Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck"
We believe this 'tism is when x.org won't start anymore and this is not a meme fuck you!!!!!!!

"Guguugugulugluglguu" (and then several anime figurines end up on the lawn in an autism-explosion)
He jacked off. monitoring distance had to be moved back several hundred yards due to smell and I don't mean tuna fish

"whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyy"
This 'tism usually is the arch sperg talking to some ex-friend (who doesn't use arch, fuck you fuck you) who is actually making money now, or sumshit

(nothing is said and arch sperg is waving hands on lawn running in circles)
***UNKNOWN 'TISM BEHAVIOUR***

"muh package old man age!!!!!!!!!" heard for 3-4 days
The arch sperg met a debian user

In order to destroy the arch linux user, we all printed out arch logos and taped them onto our shirts and ran inside screaming about apt. Within 15 seconds the 'tism moved into an even more obscure basement and used an even shittier distro anyway please stop posting

imaging writing this

Post source or set, user.

thats me (｡>﹏

-- shit, i responded to it

more into the suicide fuel folder

how stupid are you

Such cute creature

>itt: absolute fucking retards that probably dont even use arch completely missing the point
you want to use snowflake firefox (and I get why), dont expect there to be binary packages for your shit. Set up your own build server, and start maintaining a binary package for AUR (this isnt much work, just set and forget).

don't expect everything to be handed to you on a silver platter, arch users have it good already with the AUR, obscure firefox versions not having binary packages is a pretty minor issue.

>approved packages
you mean binary packages
and somehow that translates to normalfaggotry

AUR=Arch User Repository
you, the arch user, can contribute to the AUR
thats the entire point
stop whining and start doing

see above, AUR is very much diy for esoteric packages


>recompile arch
>women
op has a penis for sure
>only women rice
>Filepicker
what are you even trying to say


im still mad at the state of Sup Forums now fucking hell bunch of poser faggots

No retard, it's good for customisation
When I went to install something from GitHub on Debian I have to spend a week manually recompiling packages I'm manually downloading just so things are up to date enough to compile anything released this decade


How is a weekly pacman -Syu so your systems FUCKING UP TO DATE AND NOT VULNERABLE psychological torture

Just update your system, if you've taken time to quickly read the wiki pages of all your systems major components before slapping it together, a weekly Syu should be flawless
