MODERATORS
Queue any discussion of Wayland/Xorg, Systemd, flatpacks, snaps, distro choice, ~~Pipewire/Pulseaudio~~ (last one is easy, Pipewire ftw), Vim/Emacs, GPL/MIT, immutability, etc..
Cue* in this case. English sucks.
Thanks. Wrote cue first, but changed it because I got confused.
Hah yeah it's crazy. Anyway, zsh or death.
Fish is obviously superior (:
It's POSIX shell or nothing
Nvim > emacs
It begins
Tried Helix yet?
Nvim < Emacs + Vim keybindings (aka evil).

First rule of Arch Linux is you defintely talk about Arch Linux
I use Arch by the way.
I use Arch and only use Vim or Emacs for config files. That's Linux flex culture right there. π
Pathetic and bloated. Nano is all you need
Vim or Emacs? Stick to one, you editor two timer!
I use Debian with the Linux-libre kernel and OpenRC, relatively the same experience but without the AUR.
Debian unstable for all 11 of us crazy fuckers out there.
Tbh, I haven't experienced too many issues other then modifying a couple prgrams to be compatible with OpenRC. On my main desktop I use Debian 12 and Systemd with my 2080 SUPER and haven't encountered any issues.
Although, when I tried to install the open kernel version of the NVIDIA driver, my system didn't like it, so I ended up installing the full proprietary driver and it works well. Will be switching to AMD once I need to buy another graphics card.
(I use Gnome as my DE with two 1440p 144hz monitors)
Arch user, a cyclists and a vegetarian walk in to a bar
Btw
I'm already sitting there, sipping beer while my Gentoo gently compiles. :-D
Those god damned Linux users ruined Linux...
I use Arch btw
No you don't. If you use any pre-packaged version of Arch, it's not Arch. If you use a GUI installer, it's not Arch. If you've followed a YouTube tutorial, it's not Arch. If you've opened up this support request, but did not update your system in the last 37 seconds, it's not Arch.
Forum thread closed. User banned.
Honestly the installation guide is super easy to follow and well on the shorter side. Installing arch isnβt the arduous test of oneβs linux knowledge some make it out to be
Your reply didn't include the last timestamp you've updated your Arch install.
Thread closed. User banned.
Arch users: I updated grub and my computer won't boot. Wtf?!
Other distros: thank you for finding the bug on latest version of grub. It's fixed now so our users don't have to experience it.
You're welcomed π
In case anyone else was wondering, I use Arch.
So do I, but that dosen't mean we aren't enemies.
I have close to no exposure and experience with Linux, but I love you guys.

I swear to God I hate Microsoft so much I'm going to seriously look into it.
It's so easy for you young people. Back in my day, in order to hate Microsoft, we had to understand the virus risks of Windows, we hand to have needed to go into the registry to make some minor customization change; we had to know about Microsoft's nefarious dealings bribing game dev companies to use Directx when they saw the threat of opengl. We had to know about Bill Gates's dark side (which he did, really well - but we have Behind the Bastards now). We had to be mad about crap like how they locked down gui customization, killing litestep and bb4win. We had to deeply care about the deep innards of your computing experience (read: ricing) to understand why Microsoft sucked so bad.
Today, you kids have it so easy - they're putting ads in the operating system, their core software is all subscription, they're talking about making the OS itself subscription based. These days they make it so obvious that we're not their priority, making good software isn't their priority; their priority is getting our money.
(I feel like I made the joke already - Microsoft's really easy to hate these days, you get it - but I'm having fun, so I'm going to keep going.)
They used to put freecell right on your computer - I'm telling you, we had to go seriously digging to find reasons to hate M$. Freecell, minesweeper, solitaire, that weird pinball game my dad liked - we had to be seriously ungrateful shits to head over to Ubuntu dot com.
And now, with one click installers, active discord help channels, eager, excited, and friendly people all over, just happy to see the FOSS community grow - engaging in a healthy relationship with computing has never been so easy - 3 or 4 clicks! Asserting your self respect and aligning your daily experience with your ethics was never like this when I was young.
We used to have to ask on the arch forums where 99% of the time we were told to rtfm (because we hadn't); we had to be super careful not to let on that we were asking the arch forums about our Ubuntu issues. We had to search for random forum threads that inevitably ended with "nvm i fixed it" - if there was any follow-up at all. We had men whose back sweat trickled down through their unkempt back hair before disappearing into their plumber crack; you guys today have stunningly beautiful men and women who are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to be "developer advocates" - there are twitch streamers who are getting paid super well at their fancy Netflix jobs but still spend hours and hours of their day sharing their knowledge with newcomers - literally just because they enjoy helping people learn about computers.
Kidding aside Linux is pretty ok, I hope you enjoy it.
