    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.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

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

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago

    Inaccurate. Everyone knows vegans prefer Debian.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

    Fake. What about installing the GPU drivers?

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

    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?

    [–] [email protected] 30 points 6 months ago (2 children)

    Why the insult at vegans? Is it 2015 again?

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

    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.

    What has changed significantly since 2015?

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

    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.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

    That's your takeaway?

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    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

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)
    [–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Yes it has, get used to it.

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

    [–] [email protected] -1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    And you wonder why jokes come at your expense.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    You should be wondering why your cholesterol is so high.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

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

    [–] [email protected] 49 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    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....

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    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.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

    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....

    [–] [email protected] 24 points 6 months ago

    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

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    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.

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

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

    [–] [email protected] -3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    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.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

    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....

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    "Guys, Arch isn't unstable, you just can't handle Arch if you don't treat it a specific way"

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    All Linux distros are kinda the same really.

    • Use them incorrectly & they'll break..
    • Use them correctly & they'll just work..
    [–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

    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.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

    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
