Miserable because Grandma hasn't figured it out yet.😆

No need to be rude. For all we know it's all the writers opinion and isn't based on any real metrics. Besides I haven't seen anyone in the wild that actively uses slackware.

I use arch, I'm very happy with my distro. No bullshit, no decisions made on my behalf, no hacking around artificial limitations(fedora, Ubuntu), and no removing software to declutter my application menu.

I don't know if it's anyone else's experience but troubleshooting arch is easier than other distros because your intimate knowledge of the system you built yourself. It has helped me with fixing other distros though.

A tip to new arch users, keep the AUR package numbers very low or at least mostly limited to packages officially endorsed or potentially maintained by the main project.

I think Gentoo with no binaries should be the new archlinux. I've literally used archlinux virtually unchanged outside of updates for years now. It's been trouble free outside of some minor bugs and I change my settings in the kde settings panel 90% of the time.

Man people are weird, I guess people like web trackers & ads. I won't bring up ad blockers up I guess.

So weird I thought people valued privacy.😅

It's probably your ad blocker filtering thousands of trackers on YouTube.

I remember the screen always being blue on ME.

Yeah, virtual box doesn't work all that well from my experience. If you're on windows I'd definitely recommend checking out VMware. VMware even has support for windows 95 and stuff.

It's been about five years but I've managed to install arch just fine on virtual box (in macos) but VMware is just a more robust polished experience and it has a free version on windows.

Arch isn't that bad, it's a lot of what you have to do in Gentoo. Infact Gentoo is more manual and hands on than arch with a lot more room for error. Arch has a lot of systems service made specifically to make install and maintenance easier.

I don't know how long ago it was when you tried it but I'd give it another shot, it might surprise you! There's a lot arch does to help you that most people don't even realize.

Your among friends here. I just didn't have time for Gentoo

I guess I'm not that guy. I use arch Linux (had to say it for the memes)but I like coding, drawing, learning new languages, photography, and I'm thinking about picking up calligraphy someday.
