    I've used arch on one machine now, am a total noob to it, and I really like it. I see what people are raving about and I see no reason to shit on it. I don't really care if 6 years ago some people were annoying about it

    Arch is good, no doubt 👍.

    Void is better 😁.

    Faster, more stable, no systemd, supports musl and architectures not usually supported by most distros. It's probably the most stable rolling release distro out there.

    Does it support glibc while it supports musl?

    What is the benefit of no systemd?

    I was asked what I think of the distro "Arch btw" since everyone recommends it. Gold.

    I don't see what the problem is with Arch Linux and why it gets so much flak. I am not a Linux expert by any measure, but I use EndeavourOS and find it really use to use (don't ask me to install from scratch). Its extremely stable and I like the fact that it gets updated constantly.

    The only other distro I really liked is MX Linux. My main gripe was that I don't want to reinstall every so many years. I want to set up an OS and just use it without worrying about it being a temporary thing. But maybe I'll change my mind in the future.

    I'm not for or against any distro really, maybe except Ubuntu and its bloat. I just use what best suits me, which is the whole point of all the different distros.

    Look at the sub in which this is posted 😉. That was the joke 😉.

    [–] [email protected] 18 points 7 months ago

    i think its just people taking the "i use arch btw" meme too seriously and thinking its bad to show or even use it all

    [–] [email protected] 22 points 7 months ago (4 children)

    Manjaro is truly the worst distro of all time and probably helps give arch a bad name

    Friendship ended with Arch. Now Void is my best friend!

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Yeah, I don't think everyone got that from the pic 😂.

    Ugly, apt-induced breakup I suppose? :P

    Look at the sub 😉. They switched to xbps 😁.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (4 children)

    no way anyone would voluntarily use apt after using pacman

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

    well, for 90% of users it makes literally no difference whatsoever. It's just the command you have to type in so you can get new software.
