    Arrays start at 0, which leaves plenty of room for SCO Linux powered by UnitedLinux

    Wait, I think there was an underflow error...

    Is this a scaldera joke?

    I would really like to thank the Arch community for maintaining such a wonderful wiki; it's great that your nuts-and-bolts approach naturally generates the best documentation. That said, Debian will always be my distro of choice.

    [–] Vytle@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

    Debian my beloved

    [–] hamFoilHat@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

    I really like Debian, it's what I use at work and for servers at home. At least until a few weeks ago when I decided to try NixOS. I'm really liking it so far and am thinking of switching over my other home servers.

    I'm officially off of arch now and back on debian, my first and true linux love. I used to love arch for the AUR, but I had a couple of AUR packages that took so long to upgrade, they were basically un-upgradeable. I switched from i3 on X to sway on Wayland at the same time, so I can't say how much of my issues were that, but various small issues are no longer issues, like better Playstation controller support. And I don't have to restart every time I update repositories because I'm not constantly upgrading the Linux kernel. And there are so many .deb packages! But sincerely, thank you arch community. I still use the arch wiki.

    Mint for me, but the Arch wiki is just the best.

    I needed to quickly get something up and running on a laptop so that I could take it in the field. I thought about reinstalling arch for a minute but decided to go with Ubuntu. And you know what? It was good enough. The install was easy peasy, and everything just worked right out of the box. If I was setting up a long term machine I'd probably go with arch, but just to get some shit done on a timeline? Yeah, turned out Ubuntu was good enough.

    too many possible things can go wrong with installers, with arch I know I'll get it working faster if even the slightest issue occurs which would otherwise derail installer distros πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

    In roughly 7 years of Linux, I think I've only run into issues with automated installers in partitioning if you choose to just go automatic everything and you have a wacky existing partition layout.

    [–] autonomous@startrek.website -2 points 3 months ago (6 children)

    In roughly 30 linux of Linux I've seen a lot more than partitioning go wrong in automated installers.

    controversial opinion: distro/software wars are good, because they make people discuss about their software, which motivates the developers. you don't see windows software wars, because they can't choose their de

    [–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    Pretty sure that for most things it's simply that there's one software that's way above the rest or you simply have no interest in the fields where people debate what is best and on Linux you often are stuck with the one software that does the trick because there's not enough demand for real competition that pushes devs to come up with something as good as what you'll find on Windows.

    They had to invent a package manager for repackaged debs and GitHub repos. Very elite

    [–] teije9@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 3 months ago

    ngl, typing paru/yay [description of repo] is faster than downloading and installing the repo. even if you install it with git, you still need to know the git link.

    yes. arch is some effort to configure and get working properly, but once it works it's so nice

    (well, it was for me. I respect you if you have your own opinion and distro preferences)
