Arch users overreacting to a meme is not helping refute it. I use arch, btw.

Of all the distros Iβve hopped over the last 25 years, the most self destructive one has to have been Ubuntu.
I use NixOS btw

Oh I have, but then I just roll back.

If you know what your doing you can install arch faster than debian or fedora

Gentoo users: Signature look of superiority. (their face has frozen that way while waiting for packages to compile)
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
How sneako Debian and Fedora users reloads install userland utils
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Also, this whole meme misses out on the whole fun factor of getting everything setup exactly how you want and all the learning along the way. The Arch user is way more likely to fix any issues that come up in the future rather than just nuking the install and starting over Windows-style like this meme suggests.
Arch user rage bait and I guess I fell for it. I use arch btw.
If you actually want to use your machine, keeping the machine from nuking itself shouldn't be a hobby on its own. I need a reliable platform to work on, not a minefield on a fault line.
Don't know what you've been using but I sure wouldn't describe Arch as any of that. Once things are setup, I've extremely rarely run into issues that I didn't cause myself.

Sometimes nuking and resetting up is faster than fixing the problem.
Seems more like an opportunity to learn then if that's the case. Fixing things has almost never taken me longer than a full reinstall.

totally anecdotal.... but i've installed debian on a bunch of different machines and i've never had to "prepare additional installation media" for any weird hardware/firmware/drivers.... i just installed the base system and connected ethernet if any non-free stuff is needed. has anyone ever come across an ethernet interface that didn't work out of the box? maybe it didn't work 100%, but at least good enough to download the proper firmware to fix?

With the amount of time and effort used to make this dumb meme I could have installed Arch a dozen times
Yeah but AUR is so fucking sexy
I use AUR in an Arch distrobox in Fedora. btw.

Author: "I use Fedora BTW"
I'll repeat what I said the last time this was posted: NO f*cking way the Fedora guy got past the partition configuration step without pulling at least a few hairs out! I love Fedora, but that UI is just cursed!
Am I the only one thatβs not had trouble with it? Whatβs the big issue?

I heard the hype, did an install of arch ( before the installer script ) followed the wiki and was done and running gnome desktop in a very short amount of time. However, the tweaking afterward is where I prefer a currated distro. i.e. My OpenSUSE does snapshot cleanups on its own based on time or number, btrfs scrub and other jobs happen without me having to touch a command line. Sometimes I just want to get work done and not worry about the OS.
Enuf with the Arch hate already..
Fedora and Debian are cool,
but Arch is too,
their Wiki is amazing and so is the AUR.
And no I don't use Arch btw,
I use Manjaro,
which has suited me fine for years now.
And here I just spent an afternoon trying to get hibernation working on fedora unsuccessfully
