Arch is comfy, only brainlets trash it on Sup Forums

I want to like MPV but it's too minimal for me and I can't figure out how to change the volume in the app, it runs and seeks faster than vlc but for now I've settled on dragonplayer
Zachary Wood
Linux DEs are shit. If you want something that actually is user friendly, get a mac or Windows
Sebastian Rogers
Literally who does shit like this happen to? You'd have to be really retarded not to be able to manage running a stable Arch install. I'm starting to think it's either guys who don't use linux/never used arch or envious ubuntu users making these threads and comments.
t. guy who has had the same stable arch install running for 5 years

Youre beyond help. Try windows media player 11. Pacman breaks shit all the time. Ca-certificates broke a few months ago requiring manual intervention. Wish i ditched arch years ago
Angel Ramirez
I'm using linux, I like MPV it's just too minimal for me, too many options are hidden.

Nigga I run arch with openrc on my laptop and I've never had pacman break something. I don't get this meme, arch just werks

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Manjaro + xfce = pretty good OS

So is the hardened version immune to MITM?

Manjaro on thinkpad x240 :
>install >everything works out of box >trackpoint works nice >trackpad works nice >battery life is longer than windows >With AUR install everything without compiling myself IT JUST FUCKING WORKS
Shitbuntu and Shitbuntu variations :
>Trackpoint not working and trackpad >shitty battery life >spend hours and hours to configure >nothing happens >wreck my fucking system
Fedora on thinkpad x240:
>nothing fucking works >want to kill myself with shitty battery life
Solus on thinkpad x240 >trackpoint and trackpad are working >want to kill myself with shitty battery life
Manjaro is best Distro and I understund why is popular in distrowatch.

Ubuntu doesn't "just work" at all. Its shitty out of date software means that you're inevitably going to end up having to install a ton of PPAs. That means searching online to find them, just like with shitty Windows. Then once you have all these PPAs installed, Ubuntu starts becoming a horribly unstable mess.
Arch is a lot better. It just works, it's rock solid stable, very customisable and you learn a lot.
Matthew Jenkins
When shit "works out of the box" it means theres extra shit baked into the kernel (read:bloat). Why arch+arch-lite fags are so vocal and shitty i'll never know.
